Getting ThliiKw In Slinpo to Work of Construction. The construction of the big wigwam wa * the solo subject of discussion at the moot ing ot the Transmlssisslppl association last night. The chief element of contention wan the manner In which the work was to lie done. It was decided that the building committee should make all of the contracts for material , and call for bids from con tractors to do the work. A resolution was passed Instructing the building committee to advertise for bids ? to be In by Monday , In tlmo to present to the meeting ot the asso- clatlton on that evening , and that the bid ders should bo restricted to residents of this county. The question of the grand stalrwny contemplated In the original plans was refcrroj back to the building committee , with instructions to decide upon the matter In some way that would permit the contrac tors to bid Intelligently upon the work to be done. It was decided that the general character of the wigwam should be "a comfort home" for the use of the people of Pottawattamle county when they visited the exposition , where they could stop end rest , eat their lunches and have packages checked without cost. It was not definitely decided whether this "general comfort room" should bo lo cated on one of the upper floors or bo given a prominent location on the ground floor. This will bo definitely determined by the decision concerning the stalrwny and ele vator. The building committee , however , was Instructed to provide offices and check rooms on the ground floor , of easy access to visitors. Colonel W. F. Baker , member of the Board of County Supervisors , was pres ent and received a vote of thanks of the association to the county board for the lib eral donation. Colonel Baker and President Graham were also added to tbo building committee. A resolution was passed Instructing each member of the committee on exhibits to pro vide himself with a diagram of the ground floor for the purpose ot offering space to exhibitors with orders to make an active c"n- VBSS for the sale of us much space as possible bleIt was decided to require a bond of $500 from each of the contractors submitting bids to do the construction work on the building. General B. F. Test submitted a resolution Instructing the association to ask the city council to appropriate { 1,000 from the water fund to bo used for sprinkling and other purposes In connection with the maintenance of the wigwam. The resolution was referred to Oeorgo F. Wright for further considera tion. Secretary Judson reported that the women who had generously assisted the association 'a Its work of raising funds had arranged for an entertainment at the Dohany theater on Thursday night , when a series of Una stcreoptlcon views of Cuba and the war ships will be shown. It was decided that no further action should be taken concerning the other projected entertainments until the next meeting , and to relieve the women ol their work It It was found enough mcney was In sight to meet all of the obligations of the association.
