A meeting of the citrus fruit growers
OF Southern California was held in the
rooms of the chamber of commerce yes
terday morning, about forty of the prom
inent producers of the several counties

to order by Mr.. C. M. Wells, who stated
that it had been called by the directors
of the chamber of commerce, in pursu-
ance of the request of The executive COM
mittee which served last year. He ex-
planned that the business before the
meeting was the selection of a new
executive committee and the fixing of
the time for the holding of the citrus
fair. Mr. Wells was chosen chairman of
the meeting, and II. Jay Hanchette Sec
retary.
Mr.. Wasson stated that Mr.. r. Grid was
in San Francisco, but that he would give
his views of the fair, which were
that he would be pleased to have the
old executive committee serve as far as
possible. Mr.. Gird would be too busy
with his own affairs to pay much atten-
tion to the fair, but he was interested IN
its success and thought that as the fruit
growers were to exhibit, they should
manage its affairs. After short dis
cussion, motion to the effect that the
executive committee consist of nine
members was adopted.
The following were then elected: J.
L. Howland, Pomona; J. W. Cook,
Glendora: H. K. Snow, Tustin; N. w.
Blanchard. of Ventura; Frank Miller,
of Riverside; G. M. Wells, of Los An
geles; Frank Kimball, of San Diego;
Major E. w. Jones, of Los Angeles, and

Some discussion as to the time for the
holding of the fair followed, and on mo-
tion of Captain F. Edward Gray, it was
declared the sense of the meeting, that
the fair commence on the first Tuesday
in March.
The time of the continuance of the
fair and other matters pertaining there
to, were left to the executive committee,
which will meet at the chamber of COM
merce on Tuesday next, at p. m.
