e cost of restoration.
Of the bonds given, one is for $100,000, secured by guarantee of
certain directors of the Exposition Company, and the second for
$550,000, secured as to $100,000 by personal guarantees and as
to the balance by a mortgage on the Art Building.

Legislation is now pending looking to the acceptance by the city
of a fixed sum in settlement of the company's liability and the
carrying out of the work of restoration by the city itself, but
it is not, of course, possible to say at the present time
whether the estimate of $200,000 now taken into account will
eventually prove sufficient.

It is not at present possible to estimate the liability on suits
and claims pending.

In conclusion, we would state that every facility was extended
to us by the officials of the company in the course of our
audits.

Yours, faithfully, Jones, Caesar, DICKINSON, WILMOT & Co.
