pense, provided this city with market
house OF handsome appearance, which
is an ornament to the city and unsur-
passed in accommodations for tenants
and patrons, and have, by their public
spirit, placed this city on level with
other cities in this regard, which is
source of just pride to all; and,
WHEREAS, This chamber recognizes in
the establishment of this market happy
solution of a very important question,
and response to much labor which it
has put forth for the public in this direc-
ton, and although the future control of
the same remains in private hands, it is
of such public character, and will so
affect the entire population of the city
that it will be recognized as public in
stitution; therefore be it
ResolUed, That this chamber request of
Messrs. Lindley and Jones that the for
NAL opening of the same be in public
manner, and that this chamber request
the privilege of taking charge of the
same.

committee appointed to confer with the
army authorities at Washington with
regard to the establishment of military
post here, that the committee had writ
ten to Washington offering roo acres oi

had been received as yet.
Phil Stein, who was present, was asked
what action had been taken by the cit
rus fair committee concerning the exper
iment station. He said that the com
mittee had adjourned until Saturday ,un
able to agree. The Riverside people haC
sent committee to Berkeley endeavor
ing to get the proposed location changed
to San Bernardino county. Mr.. Steir
thought that this action was hardly
fair, as the location at Pomona had beer

the university, and not by the Pomona
people.
G. M. Wells, who is chairman of the
citrus fair committee, explained that all
the members of the committee who
were present at the meeting had favored

ment station, but that the Riverside
representative, Frank A. Miller, haC
asked that action might be delayed un
til their committee could confer with
Prof. Hilgard, to see whether the loca
tion might not be changed. In order tC
secure unanimity of sentiment the com
mittee had agreed to defer action unit
next Saturday.
General Forman moved that tn,
chamber indorse Pomona as the location
for the experiment station, and that the
citrus fair committee be advised to us,

end. The motion was passed, and the
secretary was instructed to telegraph
