REPORT OF BUSINESS COMMITTEE!. 



The business committee reports that the extraordinary exhibit in sheep 

 and swine made necessary a large outlay for accommodations. It was 

 thought important in view of the lack in 1901 of facilities for feeding the 

 people, to provide a tent and kitchen in addition to the room under the 

 grand stand. Under the circumstances this outlay was not needed. The 

 closets were put in order and galvanized cans purchased, additional seats 

 were provided for the grand stand at an expense of |334.53. 



The total for buildings and grounds is |4, 198.56 of which more than 

 $3,000 is for lumber and other material and labor for additional room and 

 improvements. 



This is in explanation of the increased expenditures of 1902 over 1901. 



A detailed statement of expenditures is herewith submitted. The re- 

 port together with the statement of expenditures was received and re- 

 ferred to the finance committee.
