fire and tornado on secretary's residence. The above insurance to be 

 placed in the Town Mutual Insurance Company. $10,000 additional fire 

 and tornado on women and children's building. 



The secretary brought to the attention of the committee the fact that 

 the Des Moines city council had received bids on Monday, October 23rd, 

 for paving Dean Avenue from 30th to 34th street, and that the specifi- 

 cations provided that the work was to be completed within thirty days. 

 Inasmuch as the executive committee had already recommended that 

 a hard surface pavement be laid along the state fair grounds, they did 

 not deem it advisable to agree to laying any pavement this fall for 

 the reason that it would be impossible to complete same before freez- 

 ing weather. The secretary was directed to co-operate with the attorney 

 general in protesting against the letting of this contract until 1923.
