rester, Frank Virgins, Los Angeles,
Thomas R. Bard occupied the chair.
Frank Virgins acted as secretary.
Hon. l.. j. Rose being present, the
order OF business was suspended in order
to allow him to address the association
on the necessity of active work being
kept up in the preparation of Southern
| California's worlds fair exhibit. This
being golden opportunity for Southern
California to advertise her resources, it
Is necessary that every one connected
with the association should see that his
particular district carry out the work n in
detail. He spoke in favor of Southern
California making classified exhibit Of
the six counties within the state build .
ing, as the ruling of the commission per
mitted.
The question was asked the senator
whether in making this classified ex-
hibit the county or exhibitor would lose
their identity. He saw no reason whv
they should as each locality and indiyi-
dual would be properly credited with
the exhibit they made. He presented
letter from Chief Samuels in which Il
was stated that the five acres on the
wooded island had been planted in
towering plants and ornamental ever
greens and could not be used by Califor-
mia. One acre is the most that can he
used in one body and that is situated
one and one,half miles from the lake
The advantage of this location is that it
will be less subject to the cold winds
from off the water. 1t is adjacent to the
carriage entrance to the grounds and
elevated railway station, making upon
the whole a very desirable locality.
Other areas can be assigned California
for special exhibits around the depart-
ment buildings If the board desire.
Chief Samuels in the same letter stated
that he was anxious to extend everv
possible facility to California that the
enterprise OF the state justified him in
doing.
After answering few minor questions
the senator assured the association that
he would secure for them one-half of all
outdoor space that was assigned to Cali
fornia. He retired with the remark that
"he was glad to see such lively interest
manifested in the worlds fair work IN
this district"
Mr Ia off rol fo1I
tion
Resolved, As the sense of the Southern
California Worlds Fair association that
the six counties forming this district
should, with the other counties of the
state, make classified state exhibit
within the state building, and should
also prepare for making a classified and
collective exhibit as Southern California
within the state building, in which ex-
hibit the products of the counties of this
district shall be shown as q unit, but in
such manner that each county shall pre-
serve its identity in each class. and shall
receive full credit for all exhibits fur
nished to the general exhibit. This
resolution was unanimously adopted.
The secretary then read communica-
ton from Ventura county wherein was
stated that j. F. Mcintyre, of Fillmore.
was elected by the board of supervisors
to fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Mr.. Blanchard.
Upon reconvening it was moved and
carried that the Southern California
worlds fair executive committee be en-
powered to employ superintendent or
manager to look after the preparation of |
the exhibits from the six counties COM
prising this association and be paid for
his services by the association provided |
the state failed to appoint a manager
for the same purpose.
Considerable discussion was entered
into relative to application for space in
the department buildings. It was de- |
cided, however, that as the space in
these buildings could only be determined |
by the application from individual ex-
hlbltors the association was in no posi-
tion to make application as whole and |
it was the expression of the members |
that the individual exhibitors should |
make application direct to the depart
ment.
The meeting of the executive COM
mittee was then called to order by Mr..
Kimball.
The reports of the standing commit
tees we're favorable and showed that ac.
tive work was being done.
The citrus tree committee reported
the number of trees required to fill the |
allotted space in the horticultural court
and grounds as 1888, of which there were
about 13O collected with three counties
to hear from.
The committee on dried fruits re-
ported the adoption for displaying this
class of goods of the following stvles:
Globes, sample bottles, Egyptian, sec.
tional and inverted bottles.
Upon motion special committee was
appointed, consisting of Messrs. Young.
Bard and Crafts, to make an order for
the different styles above mentioned and
solicit bids for the same and make a
contract for the immediate delivery of
what they thought the association
would need for the different counties.
This was understood to be independent
of the style adopted by the canneries
that intend making display.
A special committee was also appoint
ed, consisting of L. E. Mosher, G. H.
Crafts, E. F. G. Klokke, j. F. Mcintyre
and w. @. Kimball, to formulate plans
for preparing certificate to be issued
