| Several communications, which have
already appeared in these columns,
were read, from Chief Samuels of the
horticultural department, Chicago and
the state commission, relative to the
space that would be allowed this associ-
alton for exhibits of the six southern
counties, both in the state and depart
ment buildings. The former being not
yet planned, the matter of securing
space in it was indefinitely postponed
awaiting action of the commissioners as
to the manner the exhibits from the
various counties would be made. Con-
siderable discussion was entered into by
buC 0lucICub luCnOCI6 lCldblNO w bnO
grouping of our exhibits independent Of
was, however, left until the secretary
could ascertain definitely from the de-
partment the rules and regulations
governing exhibits.
The question then arose as to what
disposition would be made of the fresh
fruits that we would place in our dis
play in the horticultural department
when they become unpresentable. Mr..
Young of San Diego stated that in con-
versation with Secretary Thompson
that gentleman represented that the
commission had petitioned the board of
managers in Chicago to make conces
sion to California allowing her to sell
such fruits in the department building,
with the understanding that it should
be replenished with fresh supplies, so
as not in any way to deteriorate the
appearance of the exhibits.
A communication was read from l.. N.
Blanchard, delegate from Ventura
county, rendering his resignation as
member of the association. The same
was accepted, and the secretary was in
structed to write to the Ventura board
OF supervisors asking them to appoint
another member to fill Mr.. Blanchard's
place.
The meeting of the executive COM
mittee was then called to order by Vice.
Chairman Wells. Frank Virgins acted
as secretary.
The members of the executive COM
mittee were Jones and Kimball of San
Diego county, Crafts of Rediands,
Wells, Forester and Mosher of Los An
geles.
Reports of standing committees being
the order, the committee on finance re-
ported that the assessment made on the
various counties for funds for defraying
the incidental expenses of this associa-
ton had been favorably passed upon by
San Diego, Orange, San Bernardino and
Los Angeles counties, and communica-
tions were read by the secretary from
Ventura and Santa Barbara counties
stating that favorable action would be
taken,
Chairman Mosher of the committee
on literature asked for instructions as to
the manner in which his department
should proceed toward preparing litera-
ture for distribution at the worlds fair.
After considerable discussion it was sug-
gested that he formulate some plan for
carrying out the work and submit it to
the committee at its next meeting.
