22 IOWA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 



Mr. Reeves moved the secretary be instructed to forward a copy of the 

 resolution to each of the commanding officers in the organizations re- 

 ferred to in the resolution. Motion seconded and carried. 



The president appointed the following committee on per diem and 

 mileage: Sheldon, Pike and Escher. 



Mr. Olson presented the claim of Grant Burnett for the refund of five 

 campers' tickets, amounting to $2 each. On motion of Mr. Olson the 

 claim was allowed. 



The secretary read a concession from Judge Hubert Utterback, chair- 

 man of the Des Moines Chapter of the American Red Cross, in which he 

 asked for a refund of the $75 paid by the Red Cross Association for a 

 booth in the Stock Pavilion. Mr. Legoe moved the secretary be in- 

 structed to write Mr. Utterback and explain that while the board took 

 the position of doing everything possible for the Red Cross Association 

 by giving them free space in the Women and Children's Building and 

 permitting them to sell Red Cross badges throughout the grounds, the 

 board could not establish the precedent of giving charitable organizations 

 free concession space. Motion seconded and carried. 



The committee on per diem and mileage made the following report and 

 moved its adoption:
