PROCEEDINGS. 87 



holding a little over a gallon. We are being brought into competition with foreign 

 nations, and let ua say to them that, as far as Indiana is concerned, we can show 

 along with the States of the nation, and the entire world. 



Mr. Cumback — How much money has been expended in the 

 display thus far? 



Ge7i. Carnahan — There was placed at my hands at the outset 

 $5,000 with which to make our exhibit ; each State in the 

 Union received this amount from the G^eneral Government; 

 that amount has all been expended. While I do not complain, 

 I want to say you have got to pay for everything south of the 

 Ohio river. I sent by express a fine picture, prepared by one 

 of the schools here in the city, it would weigh perhaps, frame 

 and all, seventy-five pounds, that cost me ^9.50 to get it down 

 there. Freights from here to Nashville are reasonable, but 

 after that they are high. Every department is hampered be- 

 cause they have not means; the managers are doing all they 

 can, but the expenses have been enormous in every respect ; a 

 man who never shoved a plane in his life wants $3 a day, and 

 the same rate in everything else. While such is the case, I 

 have done everything in my power to make the expense as 

 light as possible. 



Mr. Cumback presented the following : 



Whereas, Other States of the Union have made large appropriations to en- 

 able their States to make a creditable exhibition at the World's Fair at New Or- 

 leans, therefore, 



Resolved, By the Indiana State Board of Agriculture, that the Legislature of 

 the State be requested to at once appropriate ten thousand dollars to be placed at 

 the disposal of the Commissioner of Indiana and the representatives from the said 

 Board, in order that Indiana may be enabled to make a proper exhibit of our re- 

 sources. 



Which was adopted. 



The consideration ot the motion of Mr. Votaw was resumed. 



Mr. Smart — I know something about the cost of this exhibi- 

 tion. I spent i$4,700 for making an educational display at 

 Philadelphia, and hdd not money enough. I can not see how 

 he could do so much as he has done with the money he has 

 had. I believe the display will disgrace us if we don't have 

 more money.
