Report of
GOVERNOR’S REPRESENTATIVES
for California at
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition
Sacramento, Cal., December 27, 1910.
To Hon. James N. Gillett,
Governor of California, and Ex-Officio Commissioner
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition.
Dear Sir:—
As your Representatives, charged with the details of California’s representation at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, held at Seattle, Washington, from June 1st to October 15th, 1909, inclusive, we take pleasure in submitting to you the following report of our work.
It was right that California should aid and participate in a Western Exposition, and it was wise to make the appropriation for the purpose sufficient to insure a creditable representation of the State’s resources. Accordingly, on your recommendation, the Legislature of 1907, set apart from the General Fund the sum of $100,000, and authorized you, as Commissioner for California, through such Representatives as it might be your pleasure to appoint, to supervise the general expenditure of the appropriation in the erection of a suitable building on the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition grounds, and the collection and installation therein of such an exhibit as would do credit to the State, and exemplify in as striking and effective manner as possible the great variety and superior quality of California’s products.
