The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-18
EXHIBIT AT ATLANTA,
The Governor Is to Call Convention
of the County Super
ViSOrs.

At a meeting of the State Board of
Trade on the 18th inst. a committee was
appointed to wait upon Governor Budd,
and suggest to him the adv stability of
calling State convention of all county
Supervisors and have them appropriate
money from their respective treasures for
the purpose of sending creditable exhibit
to the Cotton Exposition at Atlanta.
The magnitude of this exposition did not
dawn upon the people until after the ad-
journment of the Legislature, and con Sc.
duently it was too late to receive succor
through that source, and the matter of
calling convention of the county Super
visors and asking their cooperation is the
only feasible plan now open for raising the
desired funds for the exhibit, if one is to
be made.
The executive committee of the Cali
fornla Press Association, which represents
about It's papers in the interior of the
State. has Endorsed the action of the Board
of Trade, and resolutions were passed at a
meeting OF that association last Saturday
and copy Will be sent to the Governor
and to all of the members and editors of
papers in the interior, asking them TO as
sist in this undertaking.
