The report was discussed at length.
Mr. BoZeman stating that the commit
tee in figuring on the expense, took in
consideration of making an exhibit
ton to be held at St Joe, the ma
tional land show at Chicago, where
the main cost will be for space, and
at one other land show to be decided
on as thought best later in the season.
1t was figured that each county in pro-
viding man would do SO for his ex-
penses. Thus the main cost would
be S700 for La Plata. the same for
MonteZuma and San Juan county, N.
NJ, Archuleta and Silverton and San
Juan county being half the amount
providing the same plan was continu-
ed. Each county will have to stand
the expense of securing the exhibit.
The congress thought the cost very
conservative and 1t was voted unani-
mously to adopt the report and the
secretary instructed to inform the
members of the finance committee in
each county to get busy. and in this
connection. that 1t would be neces-
sary to provide a fund of $500 for
| the congress to conduct the work of
