HAVE NEAT SURPLUS
Money Left From Celebration May
Be Invested in Public Drinking
Fountain.

The various Fourth Of July COM
mittees met in the OBSERVER Office
Friday evening and audited the bills
contracted by the com mittees
in charge Of the big two days cele-
bration. The cost Of the numerous
entertainment features were all found
to be very close to the previous esti-
mates Of the executive committee,
proving that the financial end Of the
celebration had been ably managed.
All bills were paid by warrant on
Treasurer N. L. Guy, and by holding
these cancelled vouchers and the
original bills, the finance committee
will be able to account for the disposi-
tion Of the fund to cent.
As nearly as can be ascertained at
the present time, about 1925 will
remain in the treasurer's hands after
all bills have been paid. This amount
will be held in trust by the finance
committee for those who contributed
to the fund, until instructions are
received as to what shall be done with
it.
From what the OBSERVER has learned
as to the wishes Of the contributors, it
seems to be the general desire that the
money shall be used in placing neat
drinking fountain on Main street,
somewhere near the center Of the
Courthouse square. The need of a
public drinking fountain has long
been felt in Dallas, and the expendi-
ture Of the remainder Of the Fourth Of
July fund in securing this needed con-
venience seems to meet with general
approval.
The style or cost of fountain has
not been considered, but it is hardly
probable that 1925 would pay for a
fountain that would be creditable to
the general appearance Of the city. In
case this amount should prove INSULT
cient to secure a neat and useful foun-
tain, it would not be out of place to
call upon the City Council to appro-
PIRATE reasonable amount to make
up the deficiency.
The OBSERVER would suggest that
the council appoint a committee to act
with the celebration committee in
ascertaining the cost OF neat and
substantial fountain-one that will be
so constructed as to furnish water for
men, horses aud dogs-and that these
committees report the result Of their
Investigations at the earliest possible
date. The movement for public
drinking fountain is too good to be
delayed or lost sight Of, and now is the
time to act.
