Los Angeles herald., 1891-10-03


merce declared yesterday that the in
terest shown in the coming county fair
is much greater than it has been in
former years. Numerous applications
for space have been lied, and will be
acted upon as soon as possible. Super
intendent Frank Virgins went to Santa
Ana yesterday to visit the fair now be-
ing held at that place, but probably OBJ
tanned no new pointers ON the manner
of holding a fair.
The board of directors Of the chamber
of commerce met at 3 p. m. yesterday.
There were present Directors Wells,
Freeman, Book, Toler, Forman, Hughes,
German, McGarvin, Lankershim, Braun
and Anderson.
After the reading of the minutes the
secretary presented a financial report
showing a balance Of $230.40 in the
treasury.
Bills to the sum of $219 were passed.
The committee on ways and means re-
ported through its chairman, Director
McGarvin, on the condition OF the sec
retary's books that they had been found
accurate and in accordance with the re-
ports regularly rendered.
The secretary reported that a COM
mittee from the ladies' annex had stated
that they wished to tender their SER
vices to the chamber in decorating the
hall for the fair. 1t was moved that the
offer be accepted and that the ladies be
requested to report to Mr.. Virgins, all
work to be done under his direction.
A communication from real estate
man in Philadelphia, asking the cham
Der to endorse his undertaking, was read
and the secretary was instructed to in
form the writer that the desired action
could not be taken.
The matter OF the display of the Vic
toria Regia was, on motion, left to the
committee on the agricultural fair, with
power to act.
The committee on laws and legisla-
ton reported through its chairman,
Judge Anderson, on the TORY Bankrupt
bill. 1t was moved that when congress
assembled the representatives OF this
section be urged to lend that measure
their support.
Mr.. A. HI. Denker, who was present
at the meeting, stated his plan for ascer-
tanning how much land would be
pledged in various sections for sugar
beets in case factory was started in
the vicinity. His plan was tor the cir
culation of blank circulars through the
school districts of the county. On mo-
ton of Director Hughes the matter was
referred to a committee consisting OF
Directors Freeman, Lankershim and
Mr.. Denker and the secretary.
Director Wells was called upon to re-
port what action was taken at the lmml-
grafton convention at San francisco.
He gave brief account OF the meeting
and of the work which was done.
Director Lankershim stated that he
was prepared in behalf of the Pacific
fruit company to invite the members OF
the board at the conclusion OF the
meeting to visit the new establishment
and inspect the work. He stated that
| the factory was making satisfactory pro-
gress, although enterprises of that char
acter had some serious difficulties to
contend with. One of those, for exam
ample, was the high price of sugar
which it was hoped the starting of beet
sugar factories here would cause to be
reduced.
On motion Of Director McGarvin the
invitation was accepted with thanks.
The board then adjourned and pro-
ceeded in body to the factory, carri-
ages for that purpose having been pro-
vided by Mr.. Lankershim.

The sample of potato starch submit
ted by d. w. G. Franklin, OF East Los
Angeles, is of excellent quality, al
though the manufacturer declares that
the quality of potatoes he used was not
a very good one. Mr.. Franklin is poor
man, who has himself developed the
method of making this starch, and has
invented and constructed his own ma
chinery. He thus has opened the way
for new industry, which should be en-
couraged.
The exhibit of the SINH ranch was
further increased. yesterday, by re-
markable fleece of wool, weighing eigh-
teen pounds.
