Fall Festival Committee De-
cides on Morning of May
q as time to Solicit Con-
tributions.
S., 900 NEEDED FOR
THE 1913 FESTIVAL
Eighty subcommittee to
Be Appointed to See 800
Probable Contributors -
100 on Committee.

Definite plans were adopted for
raising money to carry on the 1913
festival at a meeting of the Fall Fes-
tival committee today.
The morning of Friday, May %, has
been set as the time for the campaign,
and it is the purpose of the committee
to complete the work and report at a
meeting of the finance committee in
the Commercial Club rooms at noon
on that day.
No plans have been made for the
festival, as the committee will be gov.
entirely in it's plans by the amount OF
money the finance committee is able
to raise on the date set aside for that
purpose.
A card index has been made of the
probable contributors to the festival
and there will be about eighty sub
committees appointed to call upon the
800 probable contributors. Each sub.
committee will be asked to see about
ten persons on the morning of May 90
and be able to report definite results
on each of the ten before noon of the
same day In this way each commit.
teeman will not be obliged to devote
more than one hour of his time on that
day. .....
| 1t is the purpose of the committee
to ask the merchants who are deriving
direct benefit from the festival to
make more liberal contribution than
the merchants who receive only an in
direct benefit.
1t will be necessary to raise at least
| 81 900 for the 1913 festival, as there
were only contributions in 1910 to the
amount of $6,400. That year the big
ldeficit which was met by the Young
Mems Business committee, was made
| The committee will guarantee to the
contributors that there will be no def
cit in 1913, and the contributions made
on May % will be the last contribu
tions asked. Plans will then be made
according to the amount of money Sc
cured. If surplus occurs, the money
will be placed in fund for similar
events in the future.
Payment of contributions may be
made in thirty, sixty or ninety days il
desired, and in this way the full
amount of money will be in the hand:
of the committee at least thirty days
before the festival
The committee is anxious to over
come the difficulties experienced, a.
previous festivals, and in all proba
bility all attractions and exhibition:
will be held in the heart of the city.
The names of the 100 men who will
compose the finance committee have
not been made public, but will be al
soon as acceptances are received OF
notices of appointment, which will b.
mailed tonight.
