The committee on the plans for the
June Musical Jubilee made their report
at the meeting at the council chamber
! last night. Also. the business committee
which was TO report upon the feeling
among the citizens and business men.
Mr.. Frank Payne. as chairman of this
committee. reported that the citizens
/ were universally in favor Of the move.
and that a large majority We're ready
and willing 10 back the undertaking with
sufficient money 70 pay the preliminary
/ expenses. which must be provided in ad-
vance. He stated in his report that some
Of the business men were anxious that
the matter be placed upon an even more
expensive standing than was proposed by
the committee on the plan. who had
first reported 10 Mr.. Payne. SO as 70 en-
able him 10 place it before the business
men. The point which was especially re-
garded by everyone was that q musical
festival would he far different matter
in every way than a street fair. many
of them expressing themselves that they
did not desire to see another street fair
a musical festival being a refining in
iuence. The probable cost as -
forth by the report placed the amount
at about 5000. which would include ev-
erythlng. prizes and all. This sum was
regarded as far less than any similar
event Of any magnituds that Wichita
has ever attempted. and that the city IS
now without prospect Of anything else
to draw any large number OF people here
1T any time. an attraction Of this kind
was not only up 20 wichita" but the
most inexpensive attraction OF large mag.
nitude that the city has ever held. Il
