The finance committee reported that
the $3.50 set aside by the supervisors as
contingent fund had been drawn and
turned over to the treasurer of the COM
mittee, and that $3.50 had been drawn
on this fund by the chairman of the

| ing balance of $19. go to the credit OF
| the April allowance.
The committee on cereals, wines, bee
principal grain raisers in the county the
printed instruction issued by the de.
partment relative to the manner of pre-.
pairing this product for the exhibit.
They also reported receipt of COM
munication from the bee men of South
ern California asking the assistance OF
the committee to secure desirable space
both in the state and department build
ings, stating that they would want 1000
square feet in the former building foY
their exhibit.
The committee on display reported an
effort had been made on their part to &C.
cure illustrations and estimates on a
suitable jar for displaying our fruit in
its natural state and recommend that
the Southern California worlds fair as
sociation take up the matter and select
such jars as they thought Southern Cali
fornia should use.
The committee on worlds fair litera-
ture, through one of its members, Mr..
Lukens, suggested the feasibility of pub
fishing large pamphlet, wherein the
resources of the six southern counties
could be properly illustrated. He
thought, in this connection, that the
cuts that were used in the Pasadena
pamphlet and those that are to be used
in the bureau of information's new
pamphlet, could be used to advantage
in getting up this worlds fair pamphlet
and thus reduce the expense. In addi-
ton to this he thought it would be ad-
visable for each county, or district, to
issue small descriptive pamphlet,
without illustrations, setting forth the
particular advantages of certain locali-
ties within the county, that could be
distributed in connection with the large
pamphlet. AS the matter had been
previously referred by the same com.
mittee to the Southern California
worlds fair association, no action was
taken.

ported securing twenty-one trees in the
neighborhood of Riverside, that were

four varieties of shrubs and plants, and

tion of ten rose trees. Thanks were

Riverside, for the donation of six navel
orange trees out of his orchard.

Teale, Lukens and Dunham, was ap.
pointed to meet with the supervisors
