Mrs. Shields addressed the board on
the advisability of providing for a
county exhibit at the State Fair, and
the making of an appropriation for it.
Supervisor Morrison moved that the
county make an exhibit this year at
the State Fair at an expense of $500,
and that the exhibit compete against
outsiders for no prizes.
Supervisor Jenkins said that he
understood that the Changers of the
county wish to make an exhibit He
supposed they would wish to take
charge of it.
Supervisor Morrison said the matter
of who should take charge of it was
another matter, with which his motion
had nothing to do.
The motion was carried.
l.. T. Hatfield spoke on the petition
to vacate certain streets and alleys in
Oak Park set for this date. He said
that property-owners on Thirty-third
street, in Oak Grove, are willing to
give enough land to widen the road to
sixty feet, but will necessitate a di-
Vefgence from a straight line and it
may be necessary to condemn a small
piece of property. He simply wished to
explain the matter to the board, so
that viewers can be appointed.
On motion of Supervisor Morrison
the petition was received and L. M.
Borgess.. = Butler and County Sur
veyor Boyd were appointed viewers on
the roads to be vacated
On motion of Supervisor Morrison,
the License Collector was requested to
collect saloon license from F. NJ Row,
ON the Marysville road, for July, Au-
gust and September, the road by his
place being impossible the rest of the
year and people going by the other
road. The motion was carried.
A COUNTY EXHIBIT.
Supervisor Morrison stated that it
would be necessary to select some one
to take charge of the county exhibit
at the State Fair. Mrs Shields had
spent considerable time in collecting
exhibits and had had charge of the
county exhibits for two years and
given excellent satisfaction. He moved
that Mrs. Shields be appointed to take
charge of the exhibit
Supervisor Jenkins said that he re-
cognized the ability of Mrs. Shields to
take charge of the exhibit The
Changers of the county wish to make
an exhibit and he would like to hear
from David Reese on the subject
Mr.. Reese said that the easiest way
to reach the farmers is the Grange.
The Changers have held a meeting on
the subject of an exhibit. Mrs. Shields
has worked with the Grange hereto
fore and they recognized the ability
she displayed, but he thought COM
mfttee appointed from the different
Oranges would interest them all in the
work, and could do better than any one
individual. While he thought Mrs.
Shields would be selected by them to
take charge of the exhibit, he thought
it better to let a committee be ap-
pointed to handle the matter
Mrs Shields said that while she had
worked with the Oranges, she had
never received a dollar in premiums
and had in many instances paid her
own expenses. She had always been
had to furnish toward an exhibit.
Mr.. Reese said that he knew Mrs.
Shields had received no money. He
thought it best to set. a number at
work, who could arouse more interest
than any one person can find time to.
Supervisor. Morrison said that for
several years there had been a county
exhibit and it had been announced
that Sacramento County would not
compete for premiums Last year the
county had splendj3 exhibit, consid-
ering the year, and it has always been
good. He moved the appointment of
Mrs. Shields.
Supervisor Jenkins thought it would
be well to interest all the Oranges and
get them to all pull together to make
the best exhibit possible. The Grange
is the only organization the farmers
have and they should have an oppor-
tunity to work through it.
Supervisor Curtis thought last week
when he voted for an appropriation of
$3.50 for the Grange exhibit that it
would harmonic matters. The board
is confronted by two powerful influ-
ences, and cannot afford to antagonize
either Mrs. Shields is a power in get
