sion has balance unexpended Of
over seventeen thousand dollars
There may be those who consider il
extravagant to spend three thousand
on the report. The purpose Of spend
ing $l45000 at the exposition was to
advertise the state. The report, by
setting forth what was accomplished
at st. Louis, de scribing the buildings
the exhibits, and list of medals and
prizes won, will do much to adver.
tise the state also, and in the opinion
of The Journal is money we'll spent.
The exposition is past and gone, but
the record of what was accom-.
plished especially when set forth in
such an attractive manner will be pre-.
served and shown as an interesting
souvenir.
