 It is proposed by the commission to ask the governor to issue his official proclamation making said medallion the official souvenir and call attention to the importance of the exposition the bene- fits to be derived by Alabama by having all adequate exhibit at said exposition and calling on the people of the state to pur- chase said souvenir.
 .fhe price fixed by the commission for the sale of said souvenir medallion is $i each, and it is proposed to put same on sale everywhere in Alabama at such places and in such manner as to give every man, woman and child in the state an opportunity of buying them, the pro- ceeds of such sales to be used by the Alabama exposition commission to aid in erecting building and installing and maintaining an exhibit of the states re- sources at San Francisco in 1915.
