The following was presented to the con.
vention:
To the Executive Committee of the Sacramento
Valley Press League: Your committee to whom
was referred the matter OF drafting plan to
be considered by the executive committee of
the Sacramento Valley Press League and, on
its adoption by the committee to be recon-
mended by said committee to the different pa
Pers comprised In the league respectfully beg
leave 10 report as follows:
Flrst-We urge that the different papers
forming the league, whether weeklies or dali
lies, shall publish at least as often as once a
week an article giving the advantages, facili-
ties and opportunities offered by the different
localities covered by the papers forming the
league to homeseeRers.
Second-We urge that every week whether
daily or weekly be published, that each paper
OF the league publish an article portraying the
advantages, resources and business opportu-
mites OF California with particular reference
to It's desirability as place for the investment
oil capital.
Third-We urge that from time to time, as 1t
suits tne convenience of the publisher, gen.
eral articles descriptive of the Sacramento
valley, the county and the particular locality
Where the paper is published, be run. We
recommend that the general article on the
sacramento Valley, the county article and the
local article be stereotyped, so that they may
be run conveniently as occasion offers, and
peleve that If all OF the articles are prepared
IN such manner as to be diyisible into indie
pendent parts it will prove advantageous
and permit the more frequent use of the matter.
Fourth-We urge that at least once month
all or at least portion of such standing arti-
Giles be run according to the convenience of
the publisher, and recommend that on occa-
slons OF this kind a special rate of cents per
copy addressed in wrappers be made to par
ties who desire to make use of them; and that
each member of the league send copy OF his
publication to the State Board of Trade.
Fifth-We believe that it would be advanta-
geous to request the publication, by the papers
OF the league, OF articles on the sacramento
and that from these articles the executive
committee select one TO be stereotyped and
furnished to the members at cost.
Sixth-We believe that 1t is desirable that,
supplementary to such as can be secured from
| local sources, lists of names registered at
the State Board of Trade or lists of people
ecCuIeu from OtneI De ScHI ny tue
league from time TO time 10 members of the
| league, and that copies of papers containing
matter suitable for use among possible house
keepers be sent out. We urge that members
secure from local sources lists of names OF
Eastern people to whom papers, in such
amount as suits the ideas OF publishers, may
be sent gratuitously. We recommend that
from time to time the lists of names secured
| from local sources be exchanged, through the
executive committee or otherwise. We urge
that all members of the league make an effort
tn frnr hnr al hs0r
tons to be sent East, and urge that specially
low rate be made on all such subscriptions.
houses should be prepared for the reception of
home-seekers at different points in the valley,
particularly at Sacramento, where they may
find accommodations during the period they
are seeking location. We do not see method
at present by which the league may under
take this, but urge upon all the members that
the construction of such buildings and at least
one in Sacramento.
