Appropriates Money.
The board of directors of the Cham
ber of Commerce mot Inst evening ntul
appropriated $225 for band concerts
during the summer season and $500 for
a Fourth of July celebration. This is
about one-half the sum needed for each
of these purposes, but the board con
cluded that if one-half of the neccsr
Bary sums were donated by the mem
bers of the publicity fund, the citizens
at large should contribute the other
half. There arc ninety men who have
contributed to the publicity fund; if
these ninety pay half the expenses, tho
other one thousand men in town should
be sufficiently public spirited to make
up an amount equal to that given by
the ninety. Band concerts and Fourth
of July celebrations arc pleasurable
and intere3ting to all, and all should be
willing to contribute. The average
business man reaps no pecuniary bene
fit from band concerts or celebrations,
why should they put up all the money?
