Methods Discussed.

MetnonS discussed.
The State Board of Agriculture met last

eat. ID. NJ. La Rue, P.esident; w. P. Cole.
man, c. NJ. Chase, L. U. S1ippee. Chris.
Green, G. w. Hancock. The Board of Trade
OF Sacramento City had been invited to be
present, and it was represented by John Nc
Neill, President; George L. Bates, Sscre-
tary, and P. E. Plat.
President La Rue called the meeting to
order, and stated thss the business of the
meeting was TO take into consideration the
erection Of e new pavilion. He said several
sites had been mentioned to members of the
Board, among which, besides the present one,
were Capitol Park, Agricultural Park, and
the bali block directly east of the present
building. he also said that if new one was
to be erected, the Board of Supervisors would
dispose of the present one aad add the pro-
ceeds realized from the sale to the fund for
the erection of the new building. He be-.
Iieved the citizens OF the city would respond
literally that ths present one had outgrown
ITS usefulness; that people in the State had
refused to come to the fair with their g,ols
tor the reason that they could not get suffi.
Gent spsce to exhibit them. Mr.. La Rue
tiiEL Cdlltu upfu JOIN EiCNelu TO state his
views in regard to the matter.
Mr. Mcneil said that tie subject hsd been
discussed By the Board of Trade, and the
opinion of the Board was that steps should
De taken to erect new exposition building !:
that the growing Importance of Sacrament 20
required it. He agreed with Mr.. La Rue
that the present building WAS unfit for tie
use to which it was put, and that citizens of
the State would contribute funds for a new
building. He said be had made inquiry, and
learned that the portion Of the black east
from the Pavilion could be purchased for 500
GOO. He believed the present site was more
convenient for the people than any other that
could be secured. He objected to DESTROYING
Capitol Park, as il was the only breathing
place that Sacramento mad, and If one build.
ing was erected on it, it would establish
precedent. and the park would soon be filed
with buildings.
G. NJ. Chase, of San Francisco, said that
by building in Capital Park it would save the
81 OF the ground, as the State owned it, and
the money required to purchase site could
be used in the construction Of the building,
Mr.. La Rue said that walks and drives had
already been arranged il the park, and there
was beautiful spot in the csnter of the por-
ton east Of the Csp;:o! building where pa.
vilion could b. erected.
Mr. Chase thought the people Of the city Of
Sacramento should be consulted in regard to
whTre they would prefer the building TO he
erected for if the people of the citv " were re
not in harmony with the enterprise il MIGHT
be difficult to get an appropriation from tie
Legislature.
Chris. Green said ne favored the erection of
the new building in Capitol Park. He did
not think that Agricultural Park WAS suited
for the purpose, as it wac iuconvenieut. he
believed the money expended on purchasing
site could be used to much better advantage
in the construction of the building. He
thought if proposition was presented to the
Legislature to erect pavilion on Capitol
Park grounds a handsome appropriation could
be secured.
g. w. Hancock said that the people of the
State expected the cisizsns of Sacramento to
take the initiative steps In the matter for the
reason that Sacramento was benefited more
than any other portion Of the State. He pro-
posed that the building be sold, and that it
would undoubtedly bring $40. 1000; that the
citizens would add sufficient TO make S25. 900.
and with the aid which could be secured from
the State fine building could be erected.
George L. Bates said the Board of Trade
would hold their annual meeting next Tues
day, and thought the Board of Agriculture
should meet with them and have q further
consideration of the subj 4ct.
Mr.. Mcneil thought the Agricultural So.
ciety ought to take the first step in the matter.
MIR. La Rae thought with the interest the
citizens of Sacramento had IL the matter tina.
they ought to make the first movement.
Mr.. Chase concUTred in the opinion Of Nj.
LIE Rue.
L. U. Shippee, of Stockton, was of the
same opinion. He agreed with others that
there should be g new pavilion, as the pres.
ent one was unti5 for use, and that he knsw
exhibitors who had refused to come here on
account of the incspacity Of the building, and
he thought Sacramento, SO the Capital city,
should have building for fair purposes that
would be a credit to the State. He Thought
the people of Stockton and other places would
assist in raising funds for the erection of a
good building.
w. p. Coleman agreed with The previous
speakers that q new building should be
erected, and believed a meeting
of the citizens Of Sacramento should be
called to consider the matter. He thought
suffi Gent funds could bs raised and lie hadno
doubt bu5 thst S2j 600 couli be secured
among the citizaus OF Sacramento. He
thought it was the duty of the present meet
ing to give an expression Of its preference for
q location for the building.
A motion by Mr.. Chase that application
be made to the Legislature for permission to
erect an exposition building on C9pitll Park,
was carried unanimously.
A motion BY Mr.. Chase. that the Board
meet with tie Board Of Trade on next Tues
day to FIX q tine fer meeting of the CHI.
zsns OF Sacramento 10 take some action in
the matter, WAS also carried unanimously.
The meeting then adjourned.
