hold convention of representatives OF
the northern counties on April 9th, and il
was agreed that each county and district
Worlds Fair Association in the north
should send five delegates to the conven-
ton. He thought that the meeting should
proceed at once to select five to represent
Sacramento County.

committee was given week in which to
present the names.
Mr.. Greer moved that the membership
roll OF the association be opened and
signed, and that each signer be assessed

ent signed. 1t was agreed that the list
should remain in the Secretary's hands,
and that it should be open for signatures
from all parts of the county.
a committee consisting of D. Lubin
