| II 1t is so wished.
| il he was called to meet with the new
| organization by the directors, he would
suggest the appointment of a committee,
outside of the board, to confer with those
| who wish TO submit propositions to the
association.
L. q. SIller said he did not want the
| notes returned, but favored letting the
! matter rest awhile and the notes remain.
j. M. Avery said he did not know what
was best Tor the association. He was in
cllned to agree with Mir. SilIer. He would
Ike to hear something from the capi-
talists
Several members said: "They never
come around"
Mr., Avery resumed that he believed in
Keeping up the organization and eIecting
the best set of directors that could be
elected and go ahead. He was opposed to
Gllman's motion.
Mr.. Luhrs said the first thing to do was
70 get the factory built. All that can be
done this year will be TO secure contracts
lor oeets and grow them next year.
MIR. Avery thought the beet sugar in
oustry was great thing and would give
employment TO many people. He thought
IL would be best to let the notes remain
and let the association rest a while. Let
us take chance to think.
L. W. Sheehan called for the reading of
the resolution passed at Pioneer Hall,
Tor Mr.. Avery's information. and the
secretary read it. 1t provided that the
vote taken at that time should not be
hnal, but only advisory.
Mr. Sheehan said he favored letting the
mater lie quiet until the power gets here
| from Folsom. When it does a factory
can be got here without paying Sl00, 200.
That amount could not be raised on these
notes within a year. He had voted
tlCf 10 h. L.. l.
that reason.
Mr.. Luhrs thought that man with
half million was worth listening to.
MIR. Sneehan moved that the motion at
Pioneer Hall he adopted-Ihat active
operations OF the association cease until
such time as the new power shall be
brought to the city and the time shall be
more opportune, and that for the present
all expenses shall cease.
). w. Wilson said all here were loyal to
sacramento and wished to see her do
well, but he thought it to be unwise to
dlsband and give back the notes, and that
II would be better to wait and let matters
rest. I2side of a year there will be cleo
trio power from two sources, and when
she can offer a legitimate contract for
cheap power she will not have to hunt for
opportunities, but they Will offer them
selves.
}. II. Arnold said he had not been as
active IN this matteryas some. lie remem-
bered that when Mr.. Howell came here
the association was about dead, but ne
had revived it and kept it moving by ex-
cellent work. If we want to keep it
alive We must keep it moving. The
papers have been very generous to the
movement and published columns in re-
lation to it. He was opposed to letting
the matter rest. If they wanted to dis
band aud quit all right, but if they wanted
to do anything they must keep moving.
Mr.. Avery favored laying both motions
on the table and going on and electing
directors. Of course he wanted to elect
directors that would not force the colIee-
ton OF the notes. He believed there was
q future for Sacramento.
l.. Iozer said he had been one of the
directors and knew how hard it was to
raise money. There was only one of two
things to do-either return the notes and
quit or go ahead and pay per cent. OF
the notes.
Il. h. Alsip said that some things had
taken place in the last ninety days that
the people of Sacramento were not aware
OF. A party have been here, General o. o.
Howard being one of them, who wished
| to buy large body of land near the city
They have the names of 5000 people n
! the East on their list who wish to come
to this State. Sacramento is on the eve
advantage of il. He favored going ahead.
V. 5. McClatchy said that one of the
motions before the house meant sure
| death to the organization and the other
meant a slow death. he agreed with Mr..
Tozer. 1t was not the power that is COM
| ing here that cuts the figure, but what the
| power Will bring to US. Ii is because a
! few men have been actively working
that General Howard has come here and
secured his option. II Will not do 10 sit
down and wait.
Mr. KatZenstein said that the thing
lacking in Sacramento is loyalty in TAX
ing up and pushing along affairs. They
do differently in Los Angeles. The citi-
Zens should get out and push.
Mr.. Avery moved that both the motion
and the substitute be laid on the table,
and the motion prevailed.
Mr.. Gilman moved that the Secretary
cast the vote of the association for the
old Board of Directors, but motion to
nominate directors prevailed

G. Siller, V. 5. McClatchy and Ii. G.,

Y. ). McCIatchy moved that the direct
| ors be instructed to inquire into the ad-
]
! ing a beet sugar factory at Sacramento
and 10 report to the association. Carried.
j. .. Coleman moved that the directors
1 be authorized TO appoint an Advisory
Board OF five or seven, as in their iuug-
ment may seem best, TO consult with
! them on the affairs of the association.
! Carried.
! a communication from Frank Miller
was read. requesting the association to
! place on its minutes The fact that the state
! meut OF Ar. Howell, published on March
! Sd, was the act Of Mr.. Howell and not OF
! the association.
! Mr.. Howell stated that he had accepted
/ the responsibility, and had so stated at
/ the time. Mr.. KatZenstein said that was
correct, and if Mr.. Miller wanted that
statement made he saw no objection.
. II was ordered that the statement be
/ placed on the minutes.
Z. {. Howell said that 2S7 men who were
/ not on the tax list had right to vote here.
! WhlIe he, who had been paying every
/ ihohIh lor the support of the association,
! had not that right Mr.. very did not agree
with his report. Every man should nave
read his report and studied it. He had
/ issued his circular because he knew Mr.
Miller had been playing false. He had
offered TO take public nall and discuss
the matter II the association wanted to
ceusute nun, let 1t DO SO manfully. He
did not like.
Mr.. Avery said he objected to the part
| that SAID II the railroad managers were
sensible they would take their works Ia
! tide water. "
Mr.. Howell denied that he had done so
and Mr.. Avery read the sentence. savinG
that he thought Mr.. Howell did.
Mr.. Howell read the whole article sav.
