The State Centennials Commission will keep all expenses within its $2,000,000 appropriation. Joseph Knowland says the three year program is tailored to available funds and will not seek additional money.

Major highlights include the 1950 assembly commemorations in Los Angeles and an eight day observance at Monterey, the first capitol.
