Logan, Jan. 24.-Hon. a. b. Cummins.
Governor, Des Moines, Iowa.-Dear Sir:
Complying with the instructions to the
commission for Iowa appointed by your
Predecessor. to arrange the preliminaries
for our representation at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition at st. Louis in 1903,
II have the honor to lay before you the
estimates in detail of the amount re-
quired to suitably accomplish such pur-
pose. The estimates submitted are the
result of careful labor and thought of a
of which Mr. S. NJ
Leach, of Abel, is chairman, and j need
mot assure you that while the sum is
large the committee has not been more
enthusiastic than the great opportunity
now presented to fairly exhibit our Won
iderful resources fully warrant; in fact
as such commission have considered the
matters properly before them, the future
greatness of Iowa has grown in our
minds and the opportunity to reap for
ctr sowing SO impressed the commission
that without a dissenting vote $3.50, 600
should be recommended was adopted as
its Judgment. The commission has la
bored without compensation, expenses
paid by the membership, and submit this
report of its dongs in the hope that it's
ork may be helpful. Very respectfully
yours, u. C. MILLIMAN
chairman"
In connection with this letter and esti-
mate Mr.. Milliman transmits state
ment of the business done by the COM
mission, being a report, in fact, to the
new governor. This report was ordered
at the meeting on Jan. II, 1902 in Des
Moines. Chairman Milliman includes the
history of the work of the body, gives
the estimate for spending the $3.50 600 in
the form given in the foregoing, and
concludes:
Your commission is not unmindful of
the fact that the various amounts in the
general estimate may be too high in
some places and too low in others, but
in view of the fact that it has for its ba-
sis the expenditures made at Chicago in
1893 and in Omaha in 1898. it may be ex-
pected as approximately correct.
1T is the intention of the management
lat st. Louis to group in a village the
buildings of the states that have been
made out of the Louisiana purchase and
to reserve for them the most command
ing locations therefore it is important
that the Iowa building be of such pro-
portions and of such style and finish as
shall suitably reflect the culture, adj
