The bill asking for conditional APP
preparation of $500. 900 by the State to the
Jamestown tercentenary exposition was
offered in the House Thursday, all the
members from the cities and counties
adjacent to Norfolk and Newport News
signing the measure as patrons.
When it was offered it was explained
that 10 action thereon was contemplated

the bill will be pressed vigorously by its
friends. and thye are hopeful of its
prompt passage. The measure will meet
some opposition. but it is not thought
that this will be of d nature to unne-
cessarily delay action. 1t is plainly and
expressly provided in the bill that not q
cent shall be paid out of the State treas
