The above is the status Of the trac-

to-day and as it stood yesterday after
noon after the close Of brief cam

At this time however there is q
. brief lull in the work of solicitation
pending some negotiations between
members Of the committee and some
Of the heavy property owners of the
city. The committee is taking the
stand that the support of the big
realty holders is absolutely imperative
II the movement is to succeed The
solicitors do not want TO ask merch-
ants and small property ,wners to
bear the full burden Of the movement
when the wealthy property owners
will be the chief beneficiares Of the
Improvement.
Accordingly work is now being done
towards bringing influential property
owners and members of the commit
tee together so as to provide proper
support from the realty owners tow
ards raising the fund. Those who are
backing this line of action hope by
some manner Of compromise to elimi-
nate objections to the movement anl
get all the people of the city behind
the scheme. How well they will sue
coed remains to he seen.
Yesterdays Work.
Although yesterdays soliciting work
did not swell the subscription list
greatly the work that was done
proves that the merchants and prop
erty owners with moderate holdings
are enthusiastically behind the move
ment. All of those who subscribed
did SO Willingly and readily. much to
the qualification of the committee. /
The committee was out for but q
short time yesterday but the result 1
