CANVASSERS RAISE
court HOUSE FUNDS
Find Business Men Favorable to
Project Of Building New
County Building

Eight teams of the Association Of
Commerce have made a canvass Of
the business portion of the city and
have raised a fund with which to de-
fray the publicity expenses Of the
courthouse campaign.
They report a general acquiescence
in the project On the part of the bust
ness community. Several merchants
supposed to be opposed to the plan
contributed to the fund, however.
The only opposition will come from
the east end of the city, it is feared.
Some of the property owners there
are lukewarm, If not hostile. How
ever, there has been no organization
of the opposition and it is felt at the
association rooms, where the court
house committee met last night, that
only failure to vote can defeat the
$250,0 600 bond issue.
