Mr. Benson was about to .submit a tubulated statement of con tributions on hand to Chairman Young when Mr. Pope interrupted, suggesting that this was a matter of minor Importance, which could he given attention later, and that the question of more urgent nature before the committee was to decide whether or not in I heir opinion the mayor bhould be advised to decline further contributions.
