The visitors to Topeka in some re-
spects more deeply appreciate the
worth and value of our pipe organ
and our band than we often do our
selves. When the band instruments
are paid for in full, and there is only
a little balance remaining due on
them, and when the first payment is
completed on the pipe organ, which
is due and amounts to $4,000, the
balance on one-half of the cost of the
$4,000 instrument, Topekans will
feel more at ease.
. .
/ The remainder, $4,000, can be paid
in installments covering three years.
What we need now to meet overdue
payments on the band instruments and
the pipe organ, less amount in treas
ury, is about $4,000.
The concert given tonight is to raise
this amount. If it does not do so,
the subscription committee will can
vass the people for additional direct
subscriptions to meet the payments.
Only forty Topeka people have
made direct subscriptions to the pipe
organ. Appeals during the past year
have been made to about two hun
dred of the business men and citizens.
A large number of them have as yet
given nothing Others have made
promises which have not as yet been
met. Still others have told the
finance committee of the pipe organ
that they believed the money should
be raised through entertainments.
Recognizing this last sentiment. the
committee has worked diligently
along the entertainment plan, but
with only partial success.
It will be seen that the profits from
entertainments have been nearly
$4,000, but nearly half of this has
gone to the payment of losses on con-
certs, Parsifal and Campanari, founda-
tions for organ, carpenter work, cleo
trio wiring, insurance, etc, so that out
of all the receipts from entertain
ments only $1,000 has been available
for payment on the organ. This does
not take into account a balance of
cash on hand of $1S9 and 1852 due
from Washburn college for tickets.
The latter amount is understood to be
ready from the college, but has not
as yet been formally turned over to
the association. There is S125 due on
insurance for the organ, thus there is
about $500 left to meet $4,000 due.
Forty Topeka people have made di-
rect subscriptions to the pipe organ,
aggregating $2,675. There is an i'm
preston that many have given to the
organ who have not given. The full
and complete list given below, it goes
without saying, should contain the
names of many who have not yet been
enrolled
