Show Ml BSLOW -ESIIililE Count of tickets Turned In SLows Tctal of Only , $2081; Scii::ls Need More Money. . There was disappointment In the hearts of the members of the Commercial Commer-cial club yesterday when they had finished fin-ished counting up- the proceeds from the great concert given Monday night af the Tabernacle. There was a great shrinkage from the estimated number attending the concert as by actual count only 4331 persona, were seated. Of these 21$ were the recipients of complimentary tickets, tick-ets, leaving the number of actual paid admissions 4162. With these tickets at SO cents eaqh, the receipts were J20SL A large number of tickets, however, were sold that were not used. How many there were Is not yet known. Secretary Fisher Harris of the Commercial Com-mercial club estimates that the concert con-cert will clear $1800 for the school fund, as the expenses were about $500y ?4000 Are Yet Needed. The school fund deficit will have to be raised in some other way. The exact ex-act amount still needed la' not yet-known. yet-known. A short time ago the shortage was $6500. Money has been secured since that time but the, shortage is still believed to amount to $4000. The prizes offered by the Commercial club to the pupils and schools selling th greatest number o tickets will probably cause trouble between some of the schools. The principals got together to-gether and agreed . that nt tickets should be sold after 3.10 o'clock Monday Mon-day afternoon, so that all could have an equal chance. Two schools d!sretfc.-d--d the agreement agree-ment and the children from those schools sold ticket on the Tabernacle grounds. Three loys from one of the schools are said to have sold 200 tickets in ihls way In the evenjij. TMr would of course t ripple a'l other oth-er schools. The matter will be fought out ir. a principals' me-iug which will be held In the near future |
