| dc.description.abstract | Letters of General Joseph R. Hawley to Charles Dudley Warner, The Hartford Daily Times, January 29, 1930. General Hawley was chairman of the commission which was to stage the Philadelphia Centennial exposition of 187G, America's first world's fair. It was with great difficulty that the government's financial aid was enlisted for the project. The Centennial commission was created by congress, to be composed of members appointed by the governors of the several states. Hawley represented Connecticut and was elected chairman. The original plan contemplated private financing, the sale of stock to those who would value the handsomely printed certificates as mementoes of their assistance in the great undertaking. It became apparent that this method of financing would hardly do so it was decided to seek a federal appropriation. There was much opposition to it, and despite a spirited speech by Hawley, the house once rejected the appropriation bill and referred it back to the committee. | en_US |
