PRESIDENT Miller submitted the fol-
rowing communication:
Sacramento, Aug. 3, 1899.
10 the Board of Directors-Gentle-
men: The Supreme Court recently de-
clded that the Commissioner of Pubic
Works, as public office, no longer ex-
listed. 1t is not yet settled whether
the Auditing Board of Public Works is
possessed of sufficient power to main
tain and repair the improvements
which were made last year. The ease
ment, or overflow weir, just north OF
this city, does require some repairs
and there are other very important
matters demanding some attention
and expenditure Permit me to sug-
gest that you shall arrange to ascer-
tain from the State Government wheth-
er it cannot attend to these matters.
Respectfully,
FRANK MILLER, President.
The report was received and referred
to a special committee consisting of A.
J. Bruner, R. T. Devlin, Elwood Bruner,
o. w. Erlewine and President Miller
The Committee on Manufactures, and
other committees made reports as fol-
lows:
ITO the Decentralization We
have to report as follows: A factory
has been started in this city for the
converting of raw material into a pro-
duct for another factory near San
Francisco. This scheme required but
few hours of time from your COM
mittee, who gave information. An
other factory of similar nature is
likely to come here, SO far as we judge.
A third factory, employing forty per-
sons, is very sure to come. This Will
mean an investment of 10000. The
property owners in the vicinity of the
proposed site have shown commenda-
BILE spirit in assisting the Chamber OF
Commerce to welcome these people"
"To the President and Directors of
Sacramento Chamber OF Commerce
bition respectfully reports that it has
organized a Citizens State Fair Club
and that the work of assisting the Ag-
ricultural Society is under good head
way and it is now certain that the
largest and best attended Fair ever
seen in this State will occur this year.
We can promise you that you will see
finer collection of exhibits than has
been here, and the Citizens Commit
tee are planning now to secure space
outside of the Pavilion to accommodate
the demand for space. Yours truly,
''THOS. L. ENWRIGHT,
Chairman
