The Advertising committee of the

mittee had fifteen thousand dollars

This money has been appropriated to-
ward the entertainment of ~ number

dred dollars at it's command, with de-
mands for just twice that sum.
Representatives of the Society for

an appropriation Of $500 for the en-
tertainment of that organization here
In December, and representatives of
the Southern Medical association asked
for $1,000 toward the entertainment of
that organization In October.
The Virginia Educational conference
also asked for assistance in the sum
of $3.50 the amount given il at its

asked to appropriate an additional sum
