188 IOWA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 



The Chairman : That's a good suggestion. 



Motion made by Mr. Nelson, and seconded by J. L. Bailey that a 

 committee be appointed to wait on the state board of agriculture 

 with reference to the headquarters for the fair managers. 



The Chairman : Mr. Montgomery, will you withdraw your mo- 

 tion? 



Mr. Montgomery: Yes sir. 



The Chairman : The motion is that a committee of three be ap- 

 pointed to consult with the state fair board concerning the estab- 

 lishment of a headquarters at the state fair in the Administration 

 building during the state fair, to be appointed by the chair. 



The Secretary : Mr. Chairman, I cannot see why we should ap- 

 point a separate committee. I am going to offer an amendment to 

 that, that the newly elected officers or board of directors be a com- 

 mittee to take up the matter of quarters at the state fair for the 

 Iowa Association of Fair Managers. I offer that as an amendment. 



C. F. Simmermaker (Tipton) : I'll second the amendment. 



The Chairman : I understand this to be an amendment to the 

 original motion. You have all heard the motion and amendment. 

 Are there any further remarks ? 



Mr. Nelson : I will accept the amendment. 



Motion as amended unanimously adopted. 



The Chairman : The next topic on the program would open up 

 quite a wide discussion, and it seems to me that it ought to wait un- 

 til after lunch. 



We have a topic here entitled "Should Concessionaries Secure 

 Licenses?" and in the absence of the leader I'll ask Mr. Scholfield 

 to give us his version of the subject. 



Mr. Scholfield : Well, I haven't made any particular study with 

 regard to it for the simple reason that I expected Mr. Rowland to 

 take up the subject; but in my opinion I believe that every conces- 

 sion man should have a state permit. In that way you are going to 

 do away with the non-essential concession men and I believe it will 

 be of benefit to every fair association. Those are my own opinions, 

 and while I haven't gone into the matter thoroly, to see how it could 

 be worked out, I believe that by that means the undesirables could 

 be eliminated. Everyone of you have that class of men on your 

 fair grounds, and it is your desire to do away with them. You can 

 get a better class of concessionaires to come in by doing that, and 

 you are sure of your money, and you have a great deal less trouble.
