After considerable discussion re-
garding the character of the proposed
celebration, and the nature of the va
rious attractions to be provided for
the day the meeting awoke to reali-
cation of the fact that the matter Of
finance was the essential factor in
holding a celebration. Further CON
struction Of air-castles and a visionary
feast of unique and attractive forms
Of entertainment were abandoned, and
the matter of raising the required sum
of money for giving the big show was
tackled. After some talk on this sub
ject, the matter was left to the finance
committee, with instructions to raise
Ia least $500, and $4,000, if possible
The success of the finance commit
tees canvass will measure the scope
of the proposed celebration, but the
voluntary subscriptions that have al
ready been offered, and the very gen
eral willingness manifested by others
to contribute to the fund ensures the
successful and expeditions raising of
a large sum.
Chairman Meyer will sub-divide his
finance committee and apportion the
work of canyassing the city among his
colleagues, so as 10 admit OF a thor.
ough and systematic canvass of the
city The committee will be organized
at once, and will soon have a subscrip-
tlon agreement in circulation. When
the canvass has been completed, then
the details of the celebration will be
mapped out, the celebration fund ap-
portioned among the several funds
and active preparations begun for the
gala day
In the discussion incident to the
proposed celebration Frank Davey sug
gested as an important factor in a sue
cessful celebration, the securing by
the committee of an orator OF semi
national reputation, as an attraction
that would draw people for miles
away. p. II. Darcy, who is a mem
Der on the committee TO secure ora
tors. facetiously remarked that there
were number OF distinguished ora
tors on the committee TO whom had
been delegated the selection OF an or
ator for the day, and that each of the
members had been desirous Of con
tributing his services for the occa.
sion, but, after conference. it was
decided to get some one from abroad
who might be more appreciated
City Recorder judah, chairman of
the meeting, suggested as an unique
attraction, a parade on the river of
decorated boats, by day and by night,
and the giving of the fireworks dis
play from a raft in the river The sug-
gestions We're both well received, and
will probably receive the consideration
of the proper committee.
Along this line OF entertainment, A.
Huckestein suggested a boat race on
the river and its suggestion recon-
mends II to the consideration OF the
committee on sports.
The sense OF the meeting was unan.
imously for the protection of the local
business people from the operation OF
transient yenders, and this disagree
able problem will probably be regulat-
ed by municipal legislation of a pro
hibitiye character, at any rate, legiti-
mate business houses will be given
proper protection from transient graft
