Letter regarding whether exhibitors should be required to state why the item is being exhibited, the decoration of the building and the great demand for tickets to view the building of the Crystal Palace. The contractors have suggested charging 5s per ticket with the proceeds going to the Workmen's Sick Fund but as there have been no accidents on site and the workmen are paid well and are healthy Lord Granville thinks that the Commission ought to share in the profits.
