The Executive Committee met in the 
Secretary’s office on July 8. Messrs. 
Rolfs, Tabor, Hubbard, Stevens and 
Painter were present. The Secretary re¬ 
ported a collection of $179 since the last 
meeting. Moved that the proceedings of 
the meeting held' in Gainesville last May 
be printed in the usual form. Bills for 
stenographer, printing, etc., were audited 
and ordered paid. Moved that the mak¬

Daytona, be appointed chairman of local

Messrs. Hubbard, Stevens, Hart and 
Painter. The treasurer’s and secretary’s 
accounts were audited and found correct.

Hart a committee of one to telegraph 
Hon. F. W. Sams and Mr. Thos. Palmer 
at Tallahassee to use their best efforts in 
securing an appropriation of one thou¬ 
sand dollars instead of six hundred dol¬ 
lars as had been reported by the senate 
committee. 
As shown by the treasurer’s and secre¬
