In order that Memphis may not have
to go without her free band concert
this summer. o. X. Houck has offered
to lend the park commission $500, and
raise by freewill subscription an add
tional $l,0S0, with which to defrayr the
cost Of concerts. He will write a let
ter to the commission Thursday after
loon making this offer and will state
that the $500 will be loaned without
interest until Jan, l, 1920, and that
the park commission may reimburse
him for the loan in such amounts and
at such times as suit its convenience.
The sum which Mr.. Houck promises
to lend and to raise by subscription
total $6,750, which is the figure Of each
of the two bids made by bands for IL
weeks OF concerts.
Mr.. Houck's generous offer was made
following the discovery, through ]. T,
Willingham, president, that the park
commission had spent the money which
Is usually expended for summer band
concerts on roads and bridges in River
side park.
The bids for the concerts are 81 ,0SC
higher than last year, due, the mu-
sicians state, to the increased cost OF
living.
