EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING. 
June 7-8, 1908. 
Committee met with all members present. The matter of furni- 
ture for the new Administration Building was taken up by the 
committee and considered at length. A list had previously been 
prepared by the Secretary and prices received upon it from the 
various furniture dealers in this city. After going over the cata- 
logs and prices submitted by the various firms it was the judgment 
of the committee that the prices were all too high, the committee 
agreeing that more suitable prices could be secured if they would 
go direct to the factories and jobbing houses in Chicago. There- 
fore, Mr. Cameron and Mr. Simpson were appointed a special com- 
mittee to go to Chicago and call upon the various dealers and man- 
ufacturers and make such purchases as were suited for the building. 
Immediately following the adjournment of the committee Mr. Cam- 
oron and Mr. Simpson made the trip to Chicago and orders were 
placed with the Olson and Derby Desk Companies for desks, and 
with the Derby Desk Company and the Crocker Chair Company 
for chairs. Tables, settees, and other miscellaneous furniture was 
purchased from Davidson & Sons, furniture dealers in Des Moines. 
The orders and bills for all furniture purchased are on file in this 
office, showing an itemized statement as to prices paid for the 
various pieces. 
Warrants were issued for per diem and mileage as follows :
