sided over by Mr.. d. II. Levy. who was
elected chairman, Mayor Myers being abb
sent from the city. The first business
taken up was the report of the committee
appointed at the last meeting to submit
names for directors of the association
The following was the report of the com.
mittee, read by Secretary l.. w. Neeson:
After three meetings and thorough
discussion of the question, it was deemed
impossible, in the present incomplete
state of the subscription lists, to eiecS
a full board to submit to the association
1t was accordingly decided to select only
nine names, leaving six yet to be select
ed. We would recommend that the nine
selected, if acceptable to the association,
select the other six to be associated with
them" Then were given the names THAI
report continued, expects to secure at
least $4,000 more in subscriptions, the
wisdom of leaving a few vacancies on the
board on this account was apparent to
the committee"
Some of those expressed the opinion
that it might be well to postpone action
upon the report of the committee until
a subsequent meeting. when more of the
subscribers might be gathered together.
but a demand for immediate action in or
der that arrang ements for the fair might
PROCEED prevailed, and the report was
adopted.
The stockholders hist of the association
is gradually increasing. The secretary re-
ported that a Total of about $4,000 has
now been subscribed The efforts of the
soliciting committees will be continued in
the hope of adding materially to that
amount.
