Of this amount, he said, the ciir of New Orleans had appropriated $15,000 and the business men of the community had subscribed $5,000. Baltimore, the Mayor said, ought to have at least $100,000 more to add to the amount already appropriated and he expressed the opinion that this additional amount ought tn be forthcoming from the business interests or organizations of the city.

The Mayor called on A. P. Green, of the Green-Lucas Company, the city's advertising agents, to support his contention. In a written report to the Board of Estimates Mr. Green suggested that tile sum of $100,000 was needed for an industrial survey of the city and the establishment of a follow-up department, with the Mayor at its head.

He recommended the appointment of a committee of business men, such as John R. Bland, former Governor Phillips Lee tioldsborough, Mr. Griswold and A. A. Brager, to direct such an undertaking.

He then outlined some of his ideas as to the character of such a campaign, and included therein an active local newspaper campaign, with paid advertisements in the local papers. Griswold Unenthuaiastic. But Mr. Griswold evinced no enthusiasm. In fact, he said immediately that the plan did not appeal to him at alL "The advertising the city has done has already borne much good fruit," he said.

"I have heard from outside sources that the advertising done has been well done, but I do not think such an extensive campaign as outlined by Mr. Green is exactly the right way to develop or build up a city with such economic adv tages as Baltimore and with the given it by its freight differential." Mr. Griswold's counter-proposition was that an intelligent corps of statisticians and a trained corps of follow-urt men be organized to co-operate in a leyi extensive program. "The idea," said "is to bring big business here, not men who are seeking capital, but big men who will bring new capital with them." Mayor Disagrees. Mayor Preston couldn't agree with him and promptly said so.

He said he thought Baltimore ought to advertise and advertise well that Baltimore ought to go at it in as large a way as New Orleans and other cities or drop it all together. "For a city like Baltimore," he said, "$30,000 is entirely too insignificant." The Mayor concluded the argument by stating that he put -the whole thing up to the business men of the city. "We wilf do uothing further until we hear from you. If you think we should not spend this money in advertising, we will use some of the $.30,000 to make a survey of the MEMORIAL REPLIES IN Governor Harrington said this morning that he was not yet ready to make an announcement concerning the further activities of the State Soldiers and Sailors' Memorial Committee.
