Alderman Bullock - Webster last night stated to the city council that at the last meeting a proposition that the city appro- priate $300 toward the permanent exhibitipn project was referred to the finance committee to report. He was not objecting to this, as he had always been in favor of a permanent exhibition, but he thought the council should have a report upon what was proposed to be done in the matter. In this connection he might remind the council that the fair had cost the cily $1,000 less than it was ex- pected to do, and in view of the fact that the real estate exchange had found itself unable to sub- scribe to the project he would now move that an additional $300 be appropriated by the city for the purpose. The mayor thought the matter had better stand where it did for the present. There was only two and a half months to run until the end of the year, when he should feel it his duty to recom- mend certain appropriations for the exhibition and for publicity purposes. The city at present had other expenses to meet and he hoped the motion would be held over. Alderman Bullock - Webster said that as the mayor was familiar with what was proposed to be done he would not press the motion. and this ended the discussion, (LOCAL NEWS ITEMS. E. M.
