Sunday closing in government World's Fair exhibit
In WaAsumnetown on May 28, a House committee fought over the appropriation for the government exhibit at the World's Fair and settled the Sunday closing question. The bill sets 6316,400 for the exhibit and 95,000 for the National Commission, with 36,000 for the Board of Lady Managers. The Director General's salary drops to 8,000 and Secretary to 3,000, and the government exhibit will be closed on Sunday.
