President Sanford Walkup, in his report, stressed the need for a new building and the possibility of leasing land from the Fair board once the issue of the court house site is decided. In erecting a building on the land from the Fair board, it would entail moving the log cabin once again but the board felt it would be safer from fire if it were under roof, also, the need to house large farm equipment of ancient vintage to keep it from weathering further. He reported an offer had been made to the society for a substantial sum of money to erect such a building if the citizens of the 'county would support a building fund campaign.

The option of land offered by Windridge for the erection of a museum in that location has been renewed for' another two years.

It is hoped that each township will have a representative within a short time, Several names were suggested at the meeting and these will be invited immediately.
