tion and collaboration of a wide range of writers. It would be
necessary, however, to have a central editorial and clerical staff to
direct the preparation of sketches, select writers, and to prepare the
majority of the sketches. This central staff should be composed of
trained historical scholars.
5. A rough estimate of the cost of preparation and publication
is here submitted:
Honorarium of one cent a word for writing about half
the articles. (The other half would be written by
the central staff.) ...............................$ 7,500.00
Three editors and writers at $6,000 a year for three years 18,000.00
Two stenographers and assistants at $2400 a year for
three years ..................................... 7,200.00
Office supplies-paper, stamps, etc., $800 a year for three
years ......................................... 2,400.00
Two typewriting machines ........................ 160.00
Printing five thousand copies at $6 per page.......... 9,000.00
Binding ten thousand volumes (2 volumes to the set)... 10,000.00
Total ..................................... $54,260.00
This expenditure, as you observe, would extend over a period
of three years. A marketing organization should be set up, and it
seems likely that the undertaking might be so managed as to be-
come self-liquidating.
We have thought that such a memorial might appeal to a large
number of citizens who would have very little interest in the com-
mercial and industrial features of a Centennial. We hope that you
may give this suggestion favorable consideration and include it in
your program of recommendations to the Legislature.
If it appears desirable to the Committee, the Texas State His-
torical Association would undertake to provide a Board of Ed-
itorial Advisors free of charge, and we believe that with the en-
larged space available after this year, the authorities of the Uni-
versity of Texas would be willing to provide editorial quarters for
the central staff.250
