Charles Silent, K. Cohen, Wesley Clark,
j. B., Lankershim, Ed Chambers and

Mr.. Charles Forman reported as to
the Southern California building. He
said that it is one OF the best looking on
the grounds and is finely situated. 1t
has already received numerous compli-
mentary notices from the prees. He
spoke we'll Of the contractor who has
charge of the building, and at the close
of his remarks Mr.. Stimson offered the
following, which was adopted.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE REPORT.
The executive committee then ten.
tered tine following report:
Your committee would respectfully
report: First, that the cost Of the build
ing at San Francisco, and the general
expenses of installing and maintaining
the exhibits for SIX months to be borne
by the counties in the association, as
near as can be ascertained, will be s2l,
600, of which amount Los Angeles
count is to pay sl1 900. Besides this
amount Los Angeles county will have to
pay for maintaining her exhibit and for
incidental expenses six months, say
$4,000 or $4,000, making total oi
$2l 900 or $4,000.
Oi this amount the the following rssscns
have each subscribed and paid $780,
making $1,000, viz: Mrs. l.. L. Brad
bury, ex-Gov. J. u. Downey, NJ. s. Sew
erance. T. D. Stimson, Redondo compa-
ny, Kaspar Cohn & Co., Southern Pacific
Railroad company, M. III. Sherman, D.
Freeman, X. H. Wade, lothian Bixby,
j. B. Lankershim, ]. S. Slauson and
the following persons $3.50 each, making
$3.50 in all: 1. N. Van Nuys, Wendell
Easton, Los Angeles Lighting company,
Los Angeles Electric company and ]. q.
Griffith.
Your committee would further report
the willing and generous manner in
which they have been met; that in
obtaining the above subscriptions only
two persons were applied to other than
the ones above named. All seemed to
appreciate the great value of the matter
to Southern California, and the pstri
otic obligation of the people to contrib.
ute freely to make the exhibit grand
and valuable success. So many and
urgent matters constantly coming up
for consideration and action by your
committee have prevented them from
further action in raising funds. The
immediate necessity of raising sufficient
to pay this county's part of the build
ing compelled US to ask large subscrip
tions. Hereafter we feel 1t should be
asked in smaller sums, and be more
generally divided among the people
and q large number of auxiliary COM
mittees, TO meet special avocations and
industries, should be named to get aid
from the largest numbers, and as re-
lief to some extent of your committee.
