COlllliliIISc ySoICludS dlJtI llOOl,
pursuant to a call, in the rooms of
the Chamber Of Commerce
which was attended by the follow
ing members of the committee Or
iginally selected: Captain r. b.
Green, Captain Nelson Mackey,
Charles B. Hicks, q. r. Sullivan,
TheO. Banks, j. A. Daugherty,
Joseph Boelhauwe, j. Milton
Vance and l.. NJ. WeltOn. Captain
Mackey called the meeting to
order and Judge c. NJ. Barnes
was appointed to act as secre..

Gus members of the commit

were added to the original COM

Ogden, James S. Thornton, John
Fraser, J. II. David, Frank Grice,
Charles NJ. Barnes, George w.
Russ, William HOetling Sr, j. 5.
Alexander, Frank March, w. l..
Thompson and l.. w. Stein. 1t
was also agreed that others who
were willing to actively assist the
present committee should be added
to it.
The chairman then suggested
that the first business in order so
as to determine whether it would
be practicable to hold a fair, would
be the appointment of a commit
tee to confer with the owners of
the Fair grounds and ascertain on
what term the grounds could be
secured, and on this suggestion,
Mr.. Sullivan moved that
the fchair appoint a COM
mittee of three for that purpose.
Mr.. Sullivan's motion prevailed,
after some little discussion, which
was participated in by Messrs.
Banks, Sullivan, Mackey, Barnes
and Green, as to what terms the
grounds should be accepted on,
Mr.. Banks stating that he had seen
Captain Schryver, one of the own
ers, who wanted the people under
taking the holding of the Fair to
make necessary repairs; Mr.. Sulli-
van stating that he had seen Mr..
ElmendOrf and Mr.. Kampmann,
who were willing to let the grounds
be used without cost, beyond re-
pairs to be made by the holders of
the Fair; Mr.. Mackey stating that
he thought that the necessary re-
pairs should be made, but that they
should be made under the di-
rectiOn and control of those hold
ing the fair, which suggestion was
unanimously agreed to, Mr.. Barnes
stating that Colonel Ioakum would
not only agree to making the cost
to the Fair committee for the use
of the grounds as moderate as pos
sible, but that he would donate
literally towards the holding of
the Fair and that Mr.. kampmann
had stated that he would also do
likewise. Mr.. Sullivan stated that
Mr.. Kampmann had so expressed
himself to him, but it was with
the understanding that Mr.. Kamp-
mann should not be expected to be
called on to take an active part in
in the arduous duties of the man
agement of the Fair. Capt. Green
suggested that it should be the
purpose and determination of
the Fair directory to place the
matter on a business basis and
therefore that positive agreement
should be made with the owners of
the fair grounds as to the terms on
which they will let the committee
have the use of them, and this sug-
gestion was at once adopted.
The chairman thereupOn APP
pointed the following committee to
see the owners Of the fair grounds
and ascertain what definite terms
they can be secured on: MeSSrs.
r. B. Green, J. Milton Vance, TheO-
dore Banks and G. r. Sullivan, who
were instructed to report at the
next meeting of the committee.
1t was suggested by Mr.. Banks
that inasmuch as the Fair grounds
owners wanted the grounds placed
in proper repair that it would be
we'll to appoint committee for
that purpose whose duty should
be to as certain what repairs would
be necessary and what would be
their probable cost.
On motion of Mr.. Joseph Boel-
have, the chair appointed the fol-
lowing committee: Messrs. Boel-
hauwe, Banks and Daugherty, who
will inspect the grounds and build
ings and report on their condition
at the next meeting of the COM
mittee.
The meeting of the committee
then adjourned to meet again at 4
