THE FINANCES.
The problem of financing the move
ment was canvassed at the meetings.
and 1t was decided that he active
trades bodies and other interests OF
the state could not be properly called
upon TO finance unaided a project Of
such statewide interest. The associa-
tion thereupon decided to give oppor-
tunity of every community In the state
to contribut, either through its cham
Der. of commerce, board of trade, or by
individual contribution, on the follow
ing basis OF subscription:
From cities Of $4,000 or more $500 90
over $4,000 and under 10000. s50 90
over $4,000 and under $4,000. 500 90

over 5000 and under 10 5000. !. 200 90
over 5000 and under 5000. $50 90
Over 1900 and under 1900. 100 90
OF approximately 900. SO 90
The press of the entire state will be
asked to aid the movement by keeping
IL before the public, and by reporting
subscriptions, and also by receiving
them wherever necessary.
1t is felt that Georgia must be rep
resented this year, as the other lead
ing southern states will be more large
" represented at his exposition than
they ever have been in the past at any
other similar exhibit in America.
Alabama, Florida, South Carolina,
Mississippi. Louisiana and virginia
nave already contracted for large
space. and are now busily engaged in
gathering funds and materials.
