JAMESTOWN BILLS
LOOK MIGHTY BIG
With bills aggregating more than
17.000 and about $119 In the treasury,
(he Georgia Jamestown commission
tares rather a eerlous situation, with
ho apparent w ay ahead to liquidate.
; For Bulloch Hall about 13,000 wa*
raised from the cities. The contract
petre for the building was 312,300, with
a : bonus of 21.000 to the contractors
for hustling. This last amount, how
ever, Is said to have been unauthor
ised by the commission, and they will
probably decline lo pay II.
Besides the balance due on the
building, Ihe commission has on hand
a bill for 1100 for champagne, and an
other bill for |(85 for cnrrlages, grow
ing out of Georgia Day festivities.
Although a considerable part of the
330.000 appropriation 1s still unexpend
ed, It Is said that It can not be used
for this purpose. It Is probable that
the commission will hold a meeting
shortly to discuss the situation, and
