Raise Third of budget.
Despite FRANK pICQlCLtpHS lAA&t
Washington business men, may have
to bear much of the expenses of the
ceremonies attending President Cool
idge's inaugural, the finance commit
tee, headed by Harry Wardman. raised
almost a third Of its estimated budget
Of 100000 at it's drst meeting late
yesterday,
William T. Galliher, chairman of the
general committee, opened the meet
ing with a short address. He pointed
out that although his committee had
never planned anything very preten-
tious for the Inauguration ceremony
1t had become apparent that the orig
inal plans would probably have to be
curtailed to meet the President s
wishes for modest Inauguration
Washington. however, VIII not dis
appoint the country. he said, in Its
evident desire to httingly celebrate
the induction into oftlce OF a Presi-
dent who was elected by one of the
greatest popular majorities in history
1t will give the country picturesque
celebration which, at the same time
he hoped the President would com
mend
VIII Receive little Back.
Immediately after Mr. GalIiheFs
address Mr.. Wardman announced that
already he had been guaranteed s16,-
400 in donations. For the next 20
minutes the chair was overwhelmed
with additional contributions and
when the total was announced II was
S29, 200. Mr.. Wardman had previously
SCI 100000 as his minimum needs.
Heretofore contributions from busi-
ness men have been more in the
nature of loans than donations. When
funds derived from gTandstands and
the inaugural ball were tabulated
they were Invariably found to have
exceeded the expenses OF the inaug-
uration and the contributions accept
ed from individuals and business
houses were returned.
1t has been frankly stated that not
more than third of these contribu-
tions may be returned to the donors
this year. The committee will derive
no funds from the ball; every penny
will go to charity. AS result the
donations received yesterday and
those to be announced in the future
will represent patriotic gifts from
Washington business men and or
ganizations.
