CANNOT COLLECT LOAN.
Governments Bad Bargain With Ex-
position.

Norfolk (SpeciaD. - Information
from Washington to the effect that
the government will take hold of the
exposition, according to the terms
of the act providing for the $1,000
600 loan, caused no surprise in busi-
ness or other circles here
Any one with half an eye can see
that the government made bad bar
gain and cannot now hope to collect
more than a small portion of it's
loan, even should it take charge of
receipts from all sources. 1t is i'm
probable that $1,0O0,000 could be
collected between this and the date
for the closing of the fair, November
so.
The taking over of the show by
the government would not be resent
ed by the majority of representative
people in this vicinity of the sort who
support expositions.
