On motion the acting secretary was in
structed to cast ballot for the parties
named, who were thereupon declared
elected.
The special committee appointed on
the previous Friday reported themselves
opposed to holding any entertainment
at the present time. The same COM
mittee reported that the pavilion could
be obtained for reception to those en-
gagged in the Chicago exhibit, for a
merely nominal consideration.
The report was discussed and the
members in general favored thei holding
of reception, though they differed as to
where and how the reception should be
conducted.
Mr.. E. w. Jones, MayorEHazard sand
others spoke. The secretary was re-
quested to read the financial report of
the chamber, that it might be seen how
much money the treasury contained to
hold the reception with. The report
showed receipts of $1167.50, expendi-
lures of $499. 81, and balance in the
bank of $266.3l, with outstanding bills
to the extent of $1700 remaining unpaid.
Mr. Hughes moved that committee,
with Mayor Hazard as chairman, be ap-
pointed to arrange for the reception to
the Chicago citrus fair workers.
Colonel II. G. Otis spoke against the
reception if it was to increase the debt.
In his opinion the thanks of the cham
ber would be an ample reward to these
men, as the success of the citrus fair de-
pended more on the people and papers
back of the scheme than upon the men
in charge.
Mr.. Lee thought the idea of the re-
ception was to arouse enthusiasm, give
the people of Los Angeles a chance to
learn what had been done in Chicago,
and increase the membership of the
chamber.
On motion OF Mayor Hazard the for
mer motion was amended to the effect
that the reception should cost the
chamber nothing.
Major Jones introduced a resolution
thanking the railroad companies for
their assistance in the orange carnival,
and particularly to Messrs. Wade,
Hynes, Besmer, Henderson and Bleek-
man, of the Santa Fe, and Messrs.
Crawley, Hewitt, Saylor, Muir and
Hamilton of the Southern Pacific.
On motion of Colonel HI. G. Otis, the
resolution was unanimously adopted.
On motion of Major Jones, the thanks
of the chamber was extended to the
press of Southern California for sub
stantial aid given the same enterprise.
On motion of Mayor Hazard, a bill for
$15 for flowers for the senatorial dinner
at the Westminster was allowed.
The acting secretary reported COM
munication from the rans-Mississippi
commercial congress, the object of which
is the consideration of various import
ant questions. The congress is to be
held in Galveston on the 10Th. On mo-
tion, the president was empowered to
