TEXAS BUILDINGS /AT THE
WORLD’S FAIR.
Considerable interest te being
manifested all over Texas in the
movement by the Texas Commer-
cial Executives Association for a
State building at the World’s Fair
San Francisco, 1915. At the re-
cent institute of that Association
a resolution was passed and for-
warded to the Governor asking his
assistance in securing an appropri-
ation to cover the cost of con-
structing the building and gather-
ing an exhibit. In connection with
the resolution passed by the State
Association it vva° decided to place
the matter before the clubs repre-
sented at the meeting and as a re-
sult of the movement over forty-
petitions have been sent to Austin
asking for favorable action on the
appropriation- Practically every
commercial organization is in fa-
vor a building at the Exposition.
