 tion, I want to say that the chances are that there will be a permanent 

 bond issue which will take in two or three buildings. The poultry 

 folks perhaps have the upper hand, because they had the appropria-

 fruit growers and florists should all get together, and should have a 

 committee of about six men to run a filibuster there. If they get 

 the permanent improvement bond issued this year, it will take all 

 these six men to line the Commission and the Legislature to put up a 

 respectable building. 



President White: Mr. Tuttle of Long Island and Mr. West, 

 one of the leading greenhouse men of Irondequoit, are on that Com- 

 mittee, and I have been acting with them. I think perhaps we can 

 get together with your members at any time. 



Mr. Kastixg: Our committee is composed of Messrs. Pierson, 

 Anderson, and Biggs. 



In accordance with resolution passed at the 191*2 meeting, letters 

 were addressed to the Congressmen and Senators representing New 

 York, urging them to use their influence for the passage of parcel 

 post. Replies were received from most of these, and in a surprising 

 number of cases the approval of the parcel post project was expressed.
