EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING. 

 MAY 19-20, 1911. 



Committee met with all members present. 



The secretary reported that Mr. Lovejoy had made it known 

 that he did not desire the contract for putting in the culvert at 

 the bid of $3200.00 made by ]\Ir. Ennis. James Horrabin, who w^as 

 lowest bidder on the grading signed contracts and furnished the re- 

 quired bond for putting in the culvert at $3200.00 complete and 

 for making the fill at 24 cents for short haul and 29 cents for long 

 haul in accordance with the proposal and specifications, the extent 

 of the fill to be left to the discretion of the committee. 



The committee visited the grounds to ascertain the progress being 

 made with the work on culvert and foundations. It was deemed 

 advisable to extend the culvert across Capitol Avenue and use 

 same for a bridge. ]\Ir. Horrabin agreed to do this work at the 

 same cost per foot as he was to receive for the culvert work, viz, 

 $11.60 per foot, the extension to be about 26 feet. Mr. Horrabin 

 was ordered to do this work at this figure.

 three turn-stiles put in at Grand Avenue with overhead protection 

 from rain and sun.

 chestras ; the six day engagement to commence August 26tli and 

 continue to Friday, September 1st, inclusive ; the five day engage- 

 ment to commence ^Monday, August 28th. and close Friday, Sep- 

 tember 1st. The committee decided to let the six day engagement

 gagement to the Storm Lake Concert Band, and the orchestra en- 

 gagement to Graham's orchestra of Des Moines ; the secretary was 

 authorized to execute contracts.
