After Mr.. Barrett had presented the
case for the exposition. Governor
Cooper said that he thought the time
for action was the present. He did not
want the matter to be allowed to lie
dormant and he thought the represen-
tatfve character Of the meeting should
make 1t the proper time to take action,
looking toward the organization of the
. work.
w. A. Bowen said that il occurred to
MN tndI While tnOSe present ndu
caught much of the enthusiasm of the
speaker. and would like to take hold
oc the matter at once, the proper course
would be to refer it all to the Cham
Der of Commerce and the Merchants
Association. SO that after some thought
there could be found men to take hold
of the matter and make il a success.
He therefore made a motion to that
effect.
c. M. Cooke said that he did not
think this was the way to proceed, FOR
the two associations had primarily the
same membership. and so there should
be new association. with general
membership. which would take up the
work Of preparing for an exhibit. This
would enable the officials of the Gov
ernmeht to join the busino IS men and
perhaps lead them in the work. Il. F.
Dillingham; and F.. A. Schaefer agreed
with Mr.. Bowen, and Governor Cieg-
horn was OF opinion that there would
be nothing lost by taking time for
thought.
Il. F. Dillingham; said again that il
Governor Cooper would take the chair
Inanship. he would favor a committee
which would act temporarily and pre-
pare a plan which would bring about
acton in the other associations. NJ.
Atherton. taking UP this phase of the
matter, said that such a committee
could bring the exhibition plan before
the three associations, and in such
tangible for them to act upon, and
they could do more than IL they wereg
left to work out the problems alone.
With this statement. Mr.. Bowen ac-
cepted the suggestion, and the result ,
was that the motion for the temporary
committee. put by Mr. Dillingham;. was
carried. Governor Cooper. acting under
it. appointed as the committee: F. A |
