EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING. 

 OCTOBER 17-18. 



Committee met with all members present. 



A report of the case of Mrs. Eva Brown, et al, against the 

 State of Iowa, on appeal from the award of the jury which con- 

 demned the Brown property on the 15th day of May was brought 

 to the attention of the committee. 



The trial jury allowed Mrs. Eva Brown, et al, $2,000.04 with 

 interest at 6 per cent from May 15th, and other expenses of trial 

 amounted to $127.05. 



It was the opinion of the committee that inasmuch as the state 

 was not allowed to introduce as evidence the amount the houses 

 were sold for at public auction and were not permitted to show 

 amount paid for adjoining property that an appeal should be 

 asked for. 



To this end the committee appeared before the Executive Coun- 

 cil and asked that the case be appealed. 



The claim of A. Palmer, Marshalltown, Iowa, for express 

 charges on school exhibits from Marshalltown to Des Moines and 

 return, amounting to $38.84, was brought to the attention of the 

 committee. In so far as the published conditions state that freight 

 charges will be paid on school exhibits the committee allowed a 

 claim of $6.20, an amount equal to freight cha*rges. 



The secretary and superintendent of grounds were instructed 

 to check up the settlement with J. E. Love joy, on contract for the 

 horse barns and to go over the work carefully with the architect 

 and see that all the work was complete.
