By perusal of said statement you will
note that the greatest amount which can
possibly be available to our board under
the law creating US is only 81, ,102.31.
Hence you will see at a glance the i'm
perative necessity for the passage of a
bill by the present legislative assembly
appropriating an additional sum which
will be sufficient to enable us at this, the
most critical period Of our existence as
board, to take such decisive action as
will insure beyond the peradventure of a
doubt the success of our efforts.
There are certain things which must be
done and expenses incurred in the way of
providing the necessary cases and furni-
ture for the proper display of our exhib-
its, and other appurtenances necessary to
the completion of the facilities attached
to our joint territorial building, but those
things involve the expenditure of con-
siderable amount of money and we can
not enter into any contract or take any
action whatever regarding them until we
know positively what we have to expect
in the way of funds, and unless we are at
once placed in a position to make such
necessary contracts it will be too late to
accomplish our purpose.
This board has made careful estimate,
based upon information obtained at Chi
cago, as to the material required for the
furnishing of the space allotted to this
territory in the vfsisans departments, and
has estimated thS s.>2nse Of collecting
the exhibit in the val. .ous counties, which |
we believe to be substantially accurate,
and we find that to make a creditable ex-
hibit it will require the following sums,
to wit:
For collecting the exhibits in the various
counties ...... $4,000

tie time 70 the bu ines>.... ...... 1,'O0

Therefore we would respectfully ask !
that in transmitting this report to the
legislature, you call especial attention to
the emergency now existing and recon-
mend immediate and favorable action
upon bill asking for an additional ap-
preparation. which is about to be intro
duced in the legislature.
In conclusion we desire to state that |
every item of expenditure of the public /
money at our hands has been carefully |
guarded and proper vouchers are on file
In the secretarys office covering all such
items of expenditures, and from the incep- |
tion of our work a complete set of books
has been kept, which are accessible to the
public and which are regularly audited
by our auditing committee. All of which
is most respectfully submitted,
W. Z. THORNTON,
Attest: President. !
W. H. II. LLEwELLYN,
Secretary.
