It is a deep personal loss to his myriad of friends.

I AM DEEPLY shocked to learn of the passing of Mr. Strong.

Courageous, independent, wise, staunch in every course that led to betterment of the city and the nation.

We will, however, in order that every community may know exactly where it stands, give you a list of all the buildings and exactly where we have got to as to securing the sites, plans, contracts, and everything.

Further than that I haven't anything today.

I have two or three inquiries from the press and some from associations as to the progress of the building program of the Treasury.

From a historic as well as from a modern point of view the exhibits will have great educational value.

France is to be congratulated on the enterprise and vision which have assembled in Paris so much of interest from such distant parts of the world.
