Mayor Steinman said the Trustees had
held a consultation on the subject and
unanimously agreed that Sacramento
should do something toward assisting the
State Agricultural Society in its efforts
TO make the coming fair a success It
had been hard year everywhere, and
unless special inducements could be
offered to persons or counties to make
exhibits, it would be difficult to get up
display that would attract the usual num-
Der of visitors.
The City Trustees, said the Mayor, had
decided to give $500 toward a cup or
trophy to be offered for the best county
exhibit, and If the county would do the
same they would be able TO greatly
strengthen the hands of the State Board,
and at the same time the city and county
would be benefited by the outlay. Sacra-
mento County, of course, would not be
| a competitor.
Trustees Devine and Lawton spoke to
the same effect and expressed the hope
that the Supervisors might be able to see
their way clear to assist in the matter.
Chairman Morrison remarked that in
reality the city would pay three-fourths
OF the whole amount as one-half of the
sum asked of The county would be drawn
from the city. He thought the rest of the
county could well afford the outlay in
view of the benefits to be derived
A RECORD UNION representative ven
| tured the suggestion that two cups be
offered, instead of one, as more counties
might be induced to enter the COMPETE
ton, and the $1,000 would be ample to
provide both trophies.
This met with the favor of Mayor Stein
man and the other Trustees, also of the
Supervisors, and Mr.. Todd moved that
the sum of $500 be appropriated for the
purpose named out of the fund to pro-
mote immigration. Supervisor Curtis
seconded the motion, and il was carried
unanimously.
Supervisors Morrison. Curtis and Todd
were appointed committee to act with
the Trustees and State Board of Agricul-
ture in the matter.
The Trustees thanked the board for it's
action and departed to inform the Agri-
cultural Directors, then in session, of the
success of their undertaking.
EXPERT BROWNS CLAIM
L. G. Hart appeared before the board
and asked that action be taken on the de-
nland OF B. b. Brown, the expert en-
ployed by the late Grand Jury.
Browns demand for services. it will be
remembered, was cut down by the board,
and he put in new claim covering the
amount of The reduction.
Supervisor Miller, Chairman of the FL
nance Committee, declined to approve the
demand, however; therefore it could not
be acted on.
Mr.. Hart requested that action be taken
one way or the other. If the board re-
jected the claim such rejection would go
on record, and then his client would have
some ground on which to base suit in
court.
Chairman Morrison thought that
Brown could commence suit as the mat
ter stood, if he so desired.
The board then proceeded to other bus
mess, and Mr.. Hart ironically thanked
the members for the courtesy he and his
client had received and they departed.
