314 IOWA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 



to get to the fair with his horses, was read, and upon motion it 

 was ordered that the stall rent be refunded and secretary instructed 

 to issue a warrant in payment thereof. 



A letter from Mrs. J. M. Diffenbacher of Ames, Iowa, with ref- 

 erence to the scoring on the Individual Farm Exhibit made by her 

 husband, was read. It was the opinion of the board that it would 

 be inadvisable to go behind the awards as made by the judges in 

 this class. 



A letter from Margaret McGivney of Bagley, Iowa, with refer- 

 ence to an unpaid premium warrant issued in 1892, was read. The 

 board authorized the payment of said warrant when presented. 



The matter of a refund to W. R. Wilmot on account of rental 

 paid for space under the amphitheater for an automobile show was 

 discussed. The secretary gave in brief the terms and substance 

 of the contract between Mr. Wilmot and the fair management (a 

 copy of said contract being on file in the secretary's office), and 

 reported that Mr. Wilmot had paid $1,808.92 of the $2,000.00 called 

 for by the terms of the contract, leaving a balance of $191.08. It 

 was the unanimous opinion of the board that a refund on Mr. Wil- 

 mot 's contract was due him, owing to the fact that a part of the 

 contract had not been strictly enforced by the fair management, 

 and it was ordered that the unpaid balance of $191.08 plus $208.92 

 be refunded, and the secretary was instructed to issue warrant for 

 $208.92 as a refund of the amount already paid in. 



In the matter of fees collected by the state veterinary department 

 from livestock exhibitors at the last fair, the secretary was in- 

 structed to write each exhibitor stating that the collection of such 

 fee was due to a misunderstanding between the state veterinary 

 department and the Minnesota Live Stock Board as the following 

 telegram and letter indicate:
