Proposition Number 2 is coming
before the electors on November 6.
It deals with the financing of the
Olympic Games in Califormia in 19382.
The Olympic games will«eonstitute
a great attraction in the state of
California. The country, state and
_ city where these games. are to be
held attend to the financing and actual staging of the games as to physical-aspects such as the form of
structures, equipment, facilities, organizations etc.
The games are operated over a
period of approximately eight
months of the year designated. The
events, for men and
generally. speaking,
winter sports, gymnastics,
wrestling, boxing, rowing, swimming, water polo, equestrian sports,
modern pentathlon, association football, field hockey, cycling, weight
lifting, yachting, track and field, art
competition, and exhibition ofn ational and foreign sports.

The publicity, alone, given to this
event possesses value for the entire
State. The games will serve as a
medium for attracting to the state,
hundreds of thousands of visitors.
Already national conventions are
being’ scheduled for 1932 in California.
California now faces the necessity
of declaring herself for this opportunity. The cost is estimated at two
and a half or three miilion dollars
in addition to cost of facilities
which have already been provided
and paid for and will not be a burden to the fund.
