8. Regarding the question of a building. While your, committee 

 realize the importance of more room and more light and better 

 facilities for the proper showing of horticultural and floral prod- 

 ucts, yet we feel that the city which gains the location of the fair 

 for the next five years ought to provide suitable buildings for the 

 proper display of our agricultural and horticultural products and if 

 the proper pressure is brought to bear upon them that we may expect 

 to be provided with the proper buildings for the display of our horti- 

 cultral and floral products. 



9. Regarding the question as to whether premiums should be paid 

 to exhibitors who come from out of the state, with flowers or fruit, 

 your committee recommend that while we courteously afford every 

 possible opportunity in our power to orchardists and florists to enable 

 them to advertise their products, yet the best places for exhibition and 

 all money be given to flowers and fruits grown in our own state. 

 This we think will tend to increase our home exhibits and do us more 

 good than to give any portion of our premiums to exhibitors from 

 other states. 



All of which is respectfully submitted.
