! clarSti0n OF intention. T. he corporation

ON motion OF Mr.. McClatchy the report
was taken upand considered seriatiIn.
| Delegate Ross objected to the title of
! California Citrus Fair Association. The
term Northern California he believed
to be more appropriate and distinctive.
/ This view was Endorsed by several dele
! gates, while others preferred to have the
name broad enough to embrace even the
| southern citrus counties, i'll case they
! Should desire at some future time to
/ enter the association.
MIR. Brainard OF santa Clara very terse-
| ly explained why the association should
! be called the Central California Citrus
! Association, because the citrus-growing
! counties north of Tehachapi were really
! the central counties of the STATE.
After some further discussion d vote
/ was taken on motion to amend the re-
! port by inserting the word Northern -
and it was carried unanimously.
