 that his client accept this proposition. 



The committee also proposed to Mr. Hutchinson that Miss Winterrowd 

 accept $12,000 of the money on deposit with the sheriff without prejudice 

 to their case. Mr. Hutchinson stated he would recommend that his client 

 do this. 



The committee met Mr. R. T. St. John, Deputy Fish and Game Warden, 

 and discussed the matter of a location for a Fish and Game Building upon 

 the Iowa State Fair Grounds. The committee informed Mr. St. John 

 that they would provide a suitable location for the building but that the 

 board was not in a position to financially assist in constructing the build- 

 ing. Mr. St. John stated in his opinion this was a fair proposition and 

 that he would give Mr. Albert, State Fish and Game Warden, this informa- 

 tion. 



The committee also discussed the proposition of locating a riding device 

 known as "The Old Mill" upon the state fair grounds. 



President Cameron directed the secretary to issue a call for the board

 by the board. Mr. Curtin moved that the Executive Committee be author-

 for "Ruth Law's Flying Circus," featuring Al Wilson changing planes in

 ther with her.
