18 TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART I 



Inasmuch as the rules of the school exhibits department provide that 

 the state fair management will pay the freight on all school exhibits, the 

 committee accepted this proposition. 



The president and secretary signed vouchers for the state appropriation 

 made available by House File No. 451 for city assessment for paving, 

 $11,779.94; for repairs and improvements to buildings on state fair 

 grounds, $12,500; balance due on purchase price for additional land, $4,513. 



The committee approved payment of bills. 



EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING 

 May 4-5, 1921 



Members present : Cameron, Mullen and Corey. 



The committee authorized Mr, Foglesong, landscape architect, to pur- 

 chase not to exceed $250 worth of shrubbery for planting around base of 

 permanent buildings and perennials to be used in a hedge on either side 

 of the walk leading to the women and children's building. 



The secretary was authorized to purchase a new Underwood typewriter 

 at a cost of $102.50 less 10 per cent. 



The arrangements with the Driving Club and the Executive Committee 

 of the Shrine for putting on a train wreck at the fair grounds was dis- 

 cussed by the committee. It was decided that inasmuch as neither the 

 Driving Club nor the Shrine were assuming any responsibility on account 

 of the train wreck, or to place the grounds in the same condition they 

 were before the show was put on, Mr. Connolly and Mr. Snyder, who are 

 promoting the train wreck, be required to deposit $1000 in cash to the 

 credit of the department pay roll account as a guarantee, and to be used 

 in placing the grounds and buildings in the same condition they were in 

 before the show was put on, with the understanding that after all bills 

 for replacing the grounds, etc., in condition were paid, the balance is to 

 be returned. 



On account of Senate File No. 567 making an appropriation of $7,500 

 annually to be drawn and expended upon the order of the Director of the 

 Weather and Crop Service Bureau, approved by the Secretary of the 

 Department of Agriculture, and the Joint Resolution passed by the 

 Thirty-ninth General Assembly failing to fix the salaries and make distri- 

 bution of these funds, the Executive Committee recommended to the 

 Committee on Retrenchment and Reform that the salary of the director 

 and help be fixed as follows:
