A board of directors, one from each

committee, eight members, which COM
mittee shall be appointed from the city
OF San Francisco
A committee of seven shall be ap-
pointed to draft bill to be presented to
the legislature, asking for an appropri-
alton to be raised by three annual tax
levies.
A resolution was offered, asking that
the secretary wire the Chicago directors
the greetings of the convention.
M. HI. De Young moved to substitute
therefor. resolutions declaring that the
convention protests against a double
site, and that the placing OF the horti-
cultural and agricultural exhibits sew
eral miles from the other attractive fea-
lures of the exposition, would be preju-
dicial to the interests of the state. The
resolutions provided for the appointment
of committee to notify the national
commissioners and Chicago directors to
that effect.
Mr.. De Young spoke briefly on the
resolutions, and said that as the nation
al committee meets i'll Chicago on the
might do good.
w. H. Mills also favored the resolu-
ton, and spoke energetically against
the divided site.
Isidor Jacobs thought care should be
taken not to antagonize the commission
ers at Chicago. He thought the local
executive board to be chosen could be
relied on to arrange the state display
properly.
Several other delegates participated
in the discussion, after which De-
Young's resolutions were put to a vote
and carried, and committee was ap-
pointed by the chair to draft protesting
kilograms.
A motion for a committee to draft a
law for the state commission which
should go to Chicago and direct the al
fairs, was made by De Young, and re-
ferred to a committee.
Mills resolution favoIing distinct
building for California's cumulative dis
play, and separate from all departments
of the exhibition, was carried after some
debate.
A Los Angeles delegate protested
against the plan of having only one rep
resentative from each county, as pro-
vided for in the organization committees
report, and moved that each county di-
rector be empowered to appoint five
ruled that the delegates suggestions
were out of order, and the convention
sustained the chair from the delegates
appeal.
A committee on legislation, as pro-
vided for in the organization committees
report, was appointed, with M. M. .Estee,
M. HI. De Young, Jules Cert, E. w.
Jones, T. N. Rucker, Newton Booth and
j. S. Gone, as members.
A motion to reconsider the action of
the convention in reference to fixing the
number of the executive committee,
caused prolonged discussion. The
motion to reconsider was finally adopted,
and several amendments increasing the
number of the committee, were offered,
but they were all lost, and the original
report was again adopted.

allowing the country delegations to select
their representatives on the board OF
directors. When the convention re-
assembled the following were reported
