Gentemen-Your special co,nn,ittao
dpPoluted as an executive committee
pI La f1esta de las Flores for 1906 beg
leave to submit the following report:
Immediately upon our appointment
Me ORGANIZED by the election of r. II.
aerron as chairman, and, realizinp
tnat the success or failure of the Fiesta
ana the entertainment of the Mobiles
OF the Mystic Shrine depended entirely
upon the financial support of our lib-
eral spirited citizens, our first work
was devoted to that end
According to the financial statement
SllnSGrln-
tons collected amounted to s34 S97 5o
ana we have disbursed total of s31
S5o. zS. leaving balance on hand Of
$29S2.22. OF the amount expended
SIO,oo0 was paid to M. HI. Flint, chair
man or the executive Shrine COMMITTEES
Tor the payment of expenses incurred
ana contracts made for the entertein
ment of the Mobiles of the Mystic
SHRINE that had to be met, notWith
stand1ng the fact that the meeting of
the imperial council was postponed.
Regret Council Postponement
I'm common with the peopIe of T.os
Angeles, we regretted that ciroum-
stances deprived us of the pleasure of
entertaining the visitors in whose
honor the Fiesta had been arranged.
out the postponement of the meeting
OF the imperial council was decided
upon at such a late date that il was
impossible for your committee to conne
termand many of the contracts made.
and 1t was decided. in the interests of
the whole community and the entire
state of California, that the Fiesta he
changed from its original date to NAV
21, 1906
I'VE believe that it was our duty to
the state of California and the grief
stricken city of San Francisco to show
the world that her spirit was un-
caunted by the calamity that had be-
fallen her, and with true California
pride we were determined to face the
future, notwithstanding the sad blow
lhat mad been struck. We are fully
compensated for the large amount of
work involved in creating the Fiesta
ny the unanimous public approval of
our efforts and we believe that no
F1esta mas ever been given in this city
that has created such universal com
), mendation as the one just past.
In view OF the fact that the imperial
council of the MOBILES of the Mystic
Shrine has decided to hold its NEXT
meeting in this city in the early part
or May, 1907, we submitted to your
pooy resolution passed by us June 7
last, wherein we suggested that a
Fiesta again be given at that time and
that the. central plan of handling the
Fiesta, the entertainment and the funds
Tor those purposes be carried on under
the same conditions as this year.
Ask Committee appointment
I'm view of the vast amount of work
required to produce a successful Fiesta.
we respectfully suggest that your body
appoint at the earliest possible moment
an executive committee to begin the
arrangements for next years enter
tainment.
we desire to express our sincere
thanks to Ad Petsch, the chairman of
lAiC FlCCtIlCdl DdTduE committees. and
TO FaWcett Robinson, to whose penius
and artistic taste we are indebted for
the magnificent electrical parade, as
these two gentlemen have exceIled from
every standpoint any previous parades
OF this character ever witnessed here
or IN any other city. They have been
inueratlgable in their work, devoting
at least six months to this work. and
their combined efforts have certainly
been crowned with great success.
In this conection we also desire to
express our thanks to the young
ladies and gentlemen of the Polytechnic
-high school, who so willingly gave
their services to furnish the living
parts of the floats. Their public spirit
and civic pride prove the patriotic in
stincts they have manifested in giving
their services free OF charge and aiding
in every possible way. although greatly
inconyenlenced at times, the great
success accomplished.
Thanks Committees
ITO DR.. W. Jarvis Barlow and the
other members of the floral parade
committee 'we are greatly Indebted for
the magnificent display of the floral
parade, These gentlemen have worked
incessantly to obtain entries that would
justify our reputation as a land of
flowers, and the artistic and glorious
designs OF the floral decorations that
We're seen on INT day VIII long live In
the memory OF those who were fortu-
nate enough to see 1t.
ITO our former chief Of police, w. A.
Hammel, is due the credit of organizing
the night and day parades, and his
executive ability has certainly shown
itself to the best advantage. To him
especially, and to his aides and division
marshals, is due the credit Of having
the parades start promptly on time,
having them move In precise order. so
that the great crowds were able TO
. fullest extent.
