In the discussion that arose as to how
the district should make her exhibit in
the state building, the following resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That in making district
exhibit, as provided for in resolutions
adopted at the meeting Of this execu-
tive board held May 4, 1892, it shall be
distinctly understood that each of the
six counties may be granted space
within the space allotted to the district,
commensurate with the magnitude and
Importance OF the exhibit which said
county proposes to make, and within
this space may make county display,
subject only to regulations necessary for
the general good"
The matter of applying for space in
the department building was discussed.
As very few applications had been re-
ceived from individuals. it was thought
expedient for this association to make
application, in each department, for
space that could be filled from each of
the six counties, and in order to deter
mine how much space should be ap.
piled for, the chair appointed commit
tee of five consisting of Mesers. Wells,
Young, Fish, Mcintyre and Eaton, who
are to make an estimate on what their
several counties will require, and report
the same to the secretary at an early
date, as the allotment of space in the
different departments will be made
July 1st. The secretary was then in
structed to make application, of the
state department, for $1,000 square feet
of space in the state building for the
district display, including the six county
exhibits.
Messrs. Crafts and Jones each pre-
sented plan for Palace of Plenty,
both very acceptable, but as no esti-
mates had been made on the cost Of the
project they were instructed to have def
finite plans prepared and estimates
made and report the same at the next
meeting.
The following notice from W. H. Nc
Neil to viticulturists was read, and par
ticular instructions given to the MEM
bers to urge upon the exhibitors the
