32 JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS [Jan. 9,
Legislature, to be appointed by the Speakers of the Senate
and House respectively, shall be a committee of the State of
Pennsylvania, to co-operate with committees from other States
and local committees upon the subject of the Centennial Cele-
bration at Philadelphia, in the year one thousand eight, hun-
dred and seventy-six, said committee to stand until that time,
and to report at each intervening Legislature, and make such
suggestions and recommendations, horn time to time, to the
Legislature, as they may think proper and expedient in refer-
ence to said Centennial Celebration."
One of the most prominent objects of this resolution is to
perfect the necessary preliminary organization at the earliest
practicable date, and to gather all necessary information and
material to facilitate the operations of the United States Board
of Commissioners, to be appointed by the President of the
United States, upon the recommendation of the Governors of
the different States and Terrtories, in accordance with an
act of Congress "to provide for celebrating the one hundredth
anniversary of American Independence, by holding an international exhibition of aits, manufactures and products of the
soil and mines, in the city of Philadelphia, and State of
Pennsylvania, in the year eighteen hundred and seventy-
six."
It is desired and intended that this Centennial Celebration
shall be the grandest affair that has ever taken place, and it
is highly important that every possible means shall be em-
ployed tor the attainment of' that object. I therefore moat
respectfully request and recommend that you .direct the at-
tention of your Legislature to the importance of appointing
a special committee, at its earliest convenience, to co-operate
with the committee of Pennsylvania, in conformity with the
provisions of the Joint Resolution of the General Assembly
of this Commonwealth."
Very respectfully,
JNO. W. GEARY.
