should not be neglected.
During the visit of Commissioner
Barrett to the Islands In the month OF
April, 1902. a committee was organized
representing the citizens of the Ter
ritory. for the purpose of forwarding
the enterprise Of making an exhibit
at st. Louis. Sketch plans have been
prepared for a building and a site has
been set apart by the Exposition Com
missioncrs. The estimated cost Of this
building is $4,000. To this should be
added another $4,000 for the purpose
of preparing the Territorial exhibit.
Il have no doubt that ii the appro-
sum will be raised by the citizens for
prosecuting this most desirable scheme.
as every man, woman and child Is in
frcrested in seeing tho Territory prop
erly represented on this occasion"
Inc Loan Fund.
Superintendent Cooper, in submit
ting estimates of objects TO be paid for
out of loan funds, makes the following
remarks:
Acting under the suppositon that
you will recommend to the Legislature
the passage OF an Act, authorizing the
Issuance of bonds from the sale of
which funds may be derived for the
erection OF public improvements. | have
separated the items which appear to
be properly payable from current re-
ceipts, from those belonging to the
class of new improvements to be paid
for from the Loan Fund
81 believe that the general policy OF
this Department should be the proper
care of all existing public works, and
the expenditure OF public funds for rev.
enue producing objects, such as new
roads, wharves and reservoirs for tho
conservation OF water and development
of electric power. Still Il is true that
public needs require expenditure or
I funds for purposes that are not revenue
producing such as the erection of n
new penitentiary and jails, new
building for the insane, new school
houses and teachers cottages, further
accommodation for the Legislature
courts and Territorial and county Off
GERS.
II therefore submit herewith esti-
mates for these various public i'm
provements, so that the Legislature
may have an opportunity Of discussing
their merits and providing by appro-
priation for the erection OF such OF
them as may seem for the best inter-
ests OF the public"
