hibits and demonstration work of the Boys and Girls' Club Department. 

 Dean Curtiss said he would have the chairman of the committee come to 

 Des Moines and go over the matter with Mr. Corey. 



Plans for selecting the boys for the 1920 Boys* Camp were discussed 

 by the board. 



Mr. Corey asked the board what they thought about having the Govern- 

 ment Exhibit this year. It was agreed that it was not necessary to have 

 the army and navy exhibit but it would be advisable to provide space for 

 the exhibit put out by the U. S. Department of Agriculture in case it 

 is put on without expense to the fair management. 



Mr. Corey asked that the board fix a schedule of admission prices to be 

 charged at the 1920 Iowa State Fair. It was agreed to charge the fol- 

 lowing prices: 



Day Grandstand — Boxes, ?1.00; all reserved seats, 75c. 



Day Bleachers or Paddock — 50c. 



Nig-ht Grandstand, Paddock or Bleachers — $1.00 for boxes, all reserved 

 seats 75c, paddock or bleachers 50c. 



Sunday admission, outside gates — 50c. 



Sunday auto, admission outside gates — free. 



General admission, outside gate up to 6 P. M., 50c; after 6 P. M., 25c. 



Mr. Cameron asked what the board would advise with regard to a night 

 show the last Friday of the fair. Mr. Sheldon moved that the matter of 

 the night show for Friday night be left in the hands of the Executive 

 Committee inasmuch as the matter depended largely upon whether they 

 would be able to secure suitable attractions for Friday afternoon and 

 evening. Mr. Reeves seconded the motion. The motion carried. 



Mr. Corey called the attention of the board to a motion passed at the 

 December board meeting delegating to the Executive Committee the mat- 

 ter of building a house for the secretary on the fair grounds, and stated 

 that as a member of the Executive Committee he did not care to act upon 

 this matter without knowing the sentiment of the board. After discus- 

 sing the matter Mr. Curtiss moved with further reference to the matter 

 of building a house on the fair grounds for the secretary that the Execu- 

 tive Committee be authorized to build a house on University Avenue at a 

 location to be selected by the Executive Committee, that will be satis- 

 factory to the secretary and to utilize such second hand material belonging 

 to the state fair as may be available. The motion was seconded by Mr. 

 Sheldon and carried. 



Dean Curtiss then moved that all unfinished business pertaining to the 

 plans and conduct of the 1920 fair requiring action previous to the next 

 board meeting be referred to the Executive Committee with power to act. 

 The motion was seconded by Mr. Sheldon and carried. 



Mr. Tow moved that the board adjourn subject to the call of the presi- 

 dent. The motion was seconded by Mr. Reeves and carried.
