22 BOARD OF AGRICULTURH. 



SECOND DAY. 



morning session. 



Wednesday, March 5, 1884. 



Board met at 9 o'clock pursuant to adjournment, President 

 Mitchell in the chair and all the members present. Minutes of 

 yesterday's proceedings read, corrected and approved, 



Mr. Lockhart, of the Committee on Water Supply, made 

 verbal report, and moved to reconsider the action of the Board 

 on yesterday, which was agreed to. He then moved that a 

 committee of three be appointed by the President to ascertain 

 the conditions and probable cost of water supply by the Water 

 Works Company, which was carried, and Messrs, Dungan, 

 Seward and Beeler appointed the committee. 



Mr. Stuart, from tfae committee appointed to consider the 

 probable receipts and expenditures of the contemplated fat 

 stock show, reported as follows : 



Your committee to consider the probable receipts and expenditures connected 

 with the holding of a fat stock ehow in this city next winter, respectfully report 

 that upon investigation they find the probable expenses will amount to $4,000, 

 This will include all expenses for premiums and incidental expenses of running the 

 show five days. 



We also find that the subscriptions amount to $1,500. We estimate the receipts 

 at $500 to $600, or a total of $2,000 in sight. If now the members of the Board 

 will each raise $100 in their respective districts, that will add to the receipts $1,600. 

 It will then be necessary to raise an additional sum of $500 by subscriptions. 



Your committee, therefor, would reccommend the holding of the fat stock show 

 at the Union Stock Yards, Indianapolis, provided the members^of this Board will 

 agree to raise the sum of $100 each in their respective districts; and provided 

 further, that Indianapolis shall increase its subscriptions to $2,000, If this can 

 not be done, then we would report against the advisability of holding the show this 

 year. 



C. B. STUAET, 



For the Committee. 



And asked to be discharged from turther consideration of the 

 matter.
