The Chamber Vice President wanted some assurance from the County of aid, should the organi- zation not be able to raise the full $2,000. Porter is also to pre- sent the same proposition to the City Commissioners at their next regular meeting. County Commissioners told Porter that he should appear once more before the Board should the organization not be able to raise the $2,000 desired, and the Board. would see what they could do at that time.
