378 ANN I 'A I. REPORT OF THE Off. Doc. 



MR. SCHWARZ: Mr. Chairman, 1 want lo hear from Mr. Martin, 

 on this question. 



MR. NELSON: Mr. Chairman, a year ago I nominated Clear- 

 field, and all that Brother Herr lias said in regard to 

 Lock Haven will apply to Clearfield. We have the best 

 of railroad facilities, have one hotel, a new hotel, that will 

 entertain a hundred members of this Board at $2.00 a day, with 

 a private bath in rooms, ami with an assembly room in the build- 

 ing and all necessary committee rooms, and I will guarantee there 

 will be no extra charges, and those rooms will be furnished free. The 

 Agricultural Society has been invited there and I believe we can turn 

 out the largest delegation of any county in the State. The institute 

 work is booming up there, and our people would like to have the 

 State Board visit them at Clearfield. The hotel is situated right 

 across the street from the court house, but it will not be necessary to 

 go across the street for an assembly room that will seat over three 

 hundred people. 



Mr. Sexton seconded the motion of Mr. Herr to meet at Lock 

 Haven. 



MR. McHENRY: I feel very much like supporting that motion 

 to go to Clearfield, particularly on acount of those baths; it 

 would be so nice for members of the Board, but Brother Herr is lo- 

 cated further down the river and I think there will be a little more 

 water there. I want to second the motion of Brother Herr. 



MR. MARTIN: Mr. Chairman, before offering other remarks, I 

 will say that I am also in receipt of a letter from our good county 

 chairman, Mr. Riddle, but I wanted to say explicitly that I have no 

 choice of a place for holding this annual meeting; I have no personal 

 choice. I have found in the past, with one exception, that this 

 State Board is amply qualified and able to take care of the place of 

 meeting, hence, whatever place in your wisdom you may name 

 for this summer meeting, will meet with my hearty approval. 



Clearfield and Butler each received a second. 



MR, HUTCHISON: I move that we proceed to a vote. 



The SECRETARY: Before proceeding to a vote, I want to second 

 the motion to go to Clearfield. 



MR. HERR. I want to say that I wrote to Mr. Riddle at once that 

 I had committed myself to favor Lock Haven. 



MR. HUTCHISON: We have had one round-up meeting at Lock 

 Haven, but Clearfield has never had this honor, west of the moun- 

 tains; and I would say concerning this hotel of Clearfield that it is 

 a splendid up-to-date hotel. The court house is right across the 

 street and they are good people out there, and they will treat you 

 well. 



The SECRETARY: I would suggest that the roll be called and 

 each one vote his choice when his name is called. 



The suggestion having been approved, the Secretary proceeded 

 with the roll-call, which resulted in favor of Clearfield.
