It is understood that the committee considers the SSOO appropriated for the purpose some time ago by the county council as entirely inadequate, and will go before the council at its regular meeting in September and ask for more money. The Democrat believe that if the celebration cannot be given for the SSOO appropriated that it had better be abandoned altogether, and ventures the opinion that a large per cent of the returned for whose benefit it is to be given, will agree with ue on ( this point.
