EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING. 



November 4-5, 1909. 



Committee met -with members Cameron and Simpson present. 



Secretary having received notice from the Des Moines Bridge & 

 Iron Works, that they had completed their contract for building 

 amphitheater and desired a settlement, the meeting was called for 

 this purpose. The committee, together with Architect Smith, Messrs. 

 IMoss and Brown from the Des Moines Bridge & Iron Works, and 

 Superintendent of Grounds Deemer, made a very thorough inspec- 

 tion of the amphitheater. After this inspection the members of the 

 executive committee pointed out wherein the work was not up to 

 that called for under the specifications. They insisted upon these 

 parts being gone over and finished as per plans and specifications 

 and all in a workmanlike manner. (Instructions set out in detail 

 and copy on file in secretary's office.) 



Additional payment on contract for amphitheater was asked by 

 the Des Moines Bridge & Iron Works. Secretary Simpson reported 

 a balance due of $4,317.00 and was instucted to issue warrant to 

 an amount which would leave a balance due of $1,500.00, which was 

 not to be paid until all parts of the work on amphitheater had been 

 accepted.
