the following report:
Sacramento, June "a, 1899.
Directors Sacramento Chamber. of
Commerce Gentlemen: Your Commit
tee on Exhibits respectfully reports as
follows: Several meetings Of the COM
mitteef have been held on the important
subject of the State Fair. AS a result
general meeting of business men Of
this city was held on June 9th, and a
committee therefrom was sent the fol-
lowing day to call on the directors
| of the State Agricultural Society and
offer the services of the people of this
city toward making a success of the
fair in September next
This offer was courteously accepted,
and Messrs. Cox, Johnson, Terry and
Shields were appointed by the Agri-
cultural Society to work with us. They
attended a recent meeting of citizens,
and the different subjects were pretty
thoroughly discussed.
1t was thought best to organize a
Citizens State Fair Club, with seven
committees, and the Chairmen of these
seven committees were organized into
| an Executive Committee in control of
this movement. Each Chairman will
| have the assistance of many commit
teemen, and it is hoped that 100 or 200
of our citizens will soon be at work.
The Citizens State Fair Club is en-
titled to the active support of all loyal
| citizens Respectfully,
| T. L. ENWRIGHT, Chairman.
The report was accepted, and the CO.
operation of the Chamber was prom
ised to the Citizens State Fair Club.
PURE WATER.
Sacramento, June %, 1899.
To the Board Of Directors of the
| CvI,o of ar,
Your committee on clear water supply
respectfully report that since our report
of April Goth no material progress has
been made. in solving the question Of
obtaining a clear water supply for the
city. Your committee, however, finds
that people generally are keenly alive
to the Importance of an early solution
to this question. but owing to the lack
of funds on hand in your treasury we
find it is impossible for us to make a
thorough investigation for the purpose
of ascertaining which is the better sup
ply for the city to adopt
| We note with pleasure the disposition
manifested by the City Trustees at
their recent meetings to give prompt
consideration to the water question,
and inasmuch as it will be necessary to
expend limited amount of money to
ascertain the proper plan to adopt, We
recommend that the matter be left with
the Mayor and City Trustees, and such
body of citizens as they may deem it
| advisable to call in for the purpose Of
consultation.
| Your committee therefore asks to be
excused from further responsibilities.
! T II ,r1d
and Herman H. Grau
The report was received and the COM
mittee excused from further duty.

Secretary Coleman read The follow
ing Communication:
'At the last meeting Of the Sacra-

to the matter of the grange cooper
ating with the Citizens State Fair
Club. The proposition met with uni
