There is no possibility that the Secretary

position. II is patent and the exposi-
tiOn managers have made no attempt TO
conceal the fact that the Improvements
they have made on the grounds, are per
nlanent in a large degree. as is also the
central group of buildings.
p The directors have decided to obviate
the waste that usually attends worlds
fairs by so preparing the grounds and
buildings that they may serve other pur-
poses after the exposition closes. Their
determination was understood when the
GOVERNMENT passed the appropriation for
jamestown.
