Iowa Association of County and District 



Fair Managers

The Secretary (J. Q. Lauer) : We will come to order, gentlemen. We 

 are a little bit unfortunate this morning by being deprived of the presence 

 of both our president and our vice president. Mr. Beckner, our president 

 is under the doctor's care, and Mr. Barber, our vice president, will not be 

 here. Mr. Beckner wired me day before yesterday that he couldn't be here, 

 so we find it necessary to appoint a temporary chairman for our meeting 

 today so it is up to you men to make nominations for temporary chairman. 



J. P. Mullen (Fonda). I will nominate Mr. Stanberry. 



The Secretary: Is there any other nomination? Is there a second to 

 that nomination? 



Carl Leytze (Woodbury) : Second the nomination. 



The Secretary: All those in favor of the nomination of Mr. Stanberry 

 as temporary chairman, signify by raising the righ hand. * * * Motion 

 is carried. Mr. Stanberry. 



The Chairman (H. S. Stanberry, Blackhawk) : Gentlemen, the first 

 thing we have on the program this morning is the reading of the minutes 

 of the 1917 meeting. 



The Secretary: I might say for the benefit of the members here that 

 my room is Room E, on the parlor fioor, and if any of you wish to use the 

 room your are welcome. You will find the room just across the corridor. 



The Chairman: I see the first thing is the appointment of our Creden 

 tials Committee and Resolutions Committee. I presume I can do that 

 before we proceed with the minutes. What is your pleasure, gentlemen? 

 First is the Credentials Committee. Do I hear a motion? 



E. T. Austin (Marshall) : I move that the chair appoint the Credentials 

 Committee. 



H. C. Leach (Davis): Second. 



The Chairman: It has been moved by Mr. Austin of Marshalltown and 

 seconded by Mr. Leach of Bloomfield, Davis county, that the chair appoint 

 the Credentials Committee. All those in favor of the motion signify by 

 raising the right hand. * * * Motion is carried. I will appoint on such 

 committee, H. C. Leach of Davis county, E. T. Austin of Marshall county,
