Horace F. Smith, manager of the
manufacturers exhibit. TO be in
stalled in the new chamber of COM
merce building. asked the council
committee on advertising last night
TO consider the proposition of pro-
viding for space in the building for
exhibits and demonstrators Of NUM-
cipal departments, including the de-
partments of health, water, gas.
and accounting.
Mr.. Smith stated that sufficient
space might be had for about $1,000
year, and he suggested that the
committee appropriate sum every
year to be used In this department
as an advertising fund.
The committee felt favorably dis
posed, but on motion of Mr.. Mitchell
subcommittee was named to look
further into the proposition. The
committee embraces chairman Pc
ters. Messrs Adams and Mitchell.
Mr.. Smith said the exhibit would
take up two floors Of the new
building. with an option for space on
another floor. Already seventy man
ufacturers have taken space. There
are 119 spaces at the disposal of
the manager a. present.

quest and asked Representatives Of the
daughters to appear at the next meet
ing.
E: w. Andrews. an official guide
at the State capitol, asked the COM

not permit donations of this char
acter. and resolution Of thanks to
Mr.. Andrews was adopted on motion

there was no ground for the protest

Under the ruling OF Judge Crump
the commission named by Judge
Richardson will consider the condem

The city attorney Is presiding at
