AND 



COMMITTEE MEETINGS 

 1910-1911 



EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING. 

 DECEMBER 20-21, 1910. 



Committee met with the president and secretary present, also

The board having authorized the executive committee and the 

 superintendent of speed to arrange the speed program for the 1911 

 fair, the program was agreed upon, also rules for the early clos- 

 ing purses. 



The executive connnittee and Mr. Curtin visited the fair grounds 

 to inspect the work in completing the grand stand, final settlement 

 with contractors having been withheld until such time as the exits 

 had been made satisfactory to the committee. The work was care- 

 fully gone over and it was agreed that the Des Moines Bridge & 

 Iron Works had fulfilled their contract; secretary was therefore 

 authorized and instructed to issue warrant in their favor for full 

 settlement, balance due being $1,157.47, at such time as the con- 

 tractors had filed with the secretary a written guarantee on the 

 gravel roof in accordance with the guarantee that usually accom- 

 panies the laying of a composition roof, this guarantee to be 

 in lieu of the one filed by the sub-contractors, the A. P. Nichols 

 Roofing Company.
