INDIVIDUALS IN CHARGE.
| Investigation OF the matter by the
News-Democrat brings out the fact
that the business mems association
has endorsed the "home week" cele-
bration and turned the matter over
to party of individuals, consisting
OF Jackson Pontius and several others.
including Secretary John E. Monnot
of the board of trade and John G.
Harmony. The funds contributed will
go into their hands, together with all
receipts in the way or percentage,
rentals, etc., and they are to do the
paying of the bills. Neither the busi-
ness mems association nor the board
of trade has any financial interest in
the undertaking. If the weather
proves good and the attendance as
large as anticipated, it is believed
that the venture will be quite prof
table. Some $4,000 was realized from
the Elks' carnival several years ago
when they had the use OF the streets.
1t is understood that North and
South Walnut street will be occupied
| by the carnival. The Gaskill- -Mundy
shows, to be 22 in number, will also
be here. Advertisements have been
inserted in the leading publications OF
the country devoted to theatrical and
street matters asking for people to
make application for space
WHAT PEOt nE SAY.
Permit has not been secured from
the city council, but it is thought ap-
plication will be made this Monday
evening in the name Of the business
mems association for the use Of the
thoroughfares.
The News-Democrat's plan was sug-
gested by a large number of citizens
interested in the welfare of the hos
pital. Interviews with some of them
appear below:
DR.. L. p. Morrow: II think the
move to give q portion OF the re-
ceipts from the carnival would be a
very popular one. The hospital Is
very much in need of funds just now
to clear up the present Indebtedness
and provide for the building of new
additions. l am heartily in favor Of
this"
Coroner G. F. schiltz: at would
certainly be good plan and the best
thing that could be done with the
proceeds of the celebration"
DR.. Harry A. March: That would
be first rate idea If there are any
proceeds to be disposed of. Generally
in cases of the kind there are no pro-
ceeds burt deficiency"
A. M. McCarty: Good idea! OF
course the gentlemen at the head of
the affair are entitled to remunera-
ton for their work, but believe all
over a certain sum should be turned
over to the hospital board"
DR.. James Fraunfelter:f mo more
worthy institutions could be found for
such an edowment. hope the mat
ter can be arranged. "
Mayor w. H. Smith: ~That is q
very good plan and am certainly in
accord with it."
A. s. Boyer, secretary of the Y. NJ
c. A.: II am heartily IN favor of this
plan for the support of Aultman hos
pital. 1t is worthy institution and
should be supported by every citizen
Of Canton. The plan to give part OF
the proceeds of the home week" cele-
bration to the hospital is certainly a
good one and / would certainly give
1t my hearty support"
John Monuot, secretary of the board
OF trade who Us promoting "ihome
week." was called upon for a state
ment in regard to the plan. "Your pa
per may quote me as 1t pleases. he
said. 'Of course the proceeds of this
enterprise will be used for number
of benefits"
| Thomas +. Snyder. business agent oi
Central labor union: ''The project
meets with my approval No better
use of the money could be made. The
laboring men Of the city especially
will favor It,"
w. n. ZolIinger. president Of ths
board of trade: 1T IL good sugges
tion. Anything that Ii done for thu
hospital is In worthy ca'see."
