Governor Atkinson) In caning the meeting to order replied to the per sistence of the exposition people In pushing the appropriation bill through the legislature, because Georgia's fail ure to recognize the exposition would have been a serious stumbling b'.bck. The governor said that tho state com mission had done all It could to pro vide Z.
