SAN Francisco, December 14th.-At a
meeting of the Executive Committee of
the State Board of Viticulture to-day it was
decided to ask for an increased approprl-
atiun during the next session of the Legisla-
ture for the work of the Commission. 1t
is also the intention of the Commission to
ask the Legislature for an additional ap-
preparation sufficient to defray the ex-
penses of a special representative and
wine expert at the London Exposition.
The suggestion made by the New York
Times in relation to the establishment
throughout the East of re all houses where
nothing but pure California wines are to
be sold, with guarantee of their genuine
ness, was commended to the serious atten-
ton of our wine trade, as a partial solution
of the difficulties encountered by competi-
ton with bogus wines, the evil of which is
now fully recognized in the East, but for
which the consumer finds no remedy so
long as he is not enabled to select his wine
intelligently.
