THE MECHANICS ASSOCIATION. - The adj
iourned annual meeting of the Worcester
county mechanics association was held in
Washburn hall last evening. The meeting was
called to order by Mr.. D. S. Goddard, the presi-
dent Of the association, and the records of the
last meeting were read and approved. The
committee. to whom the question of taking
measures for the payment Of portion of the
old debuhad been referred, with power to obtain
legal advise in relation to the matter, were called
upon for report. Mr. j. A. Rowland, the
chairman of the committee, announced that they
had consulted legal counsel, but had not yet had
time to get an opinion in writing. 1t is gener-
ally understood that the association effected
comprompse with its creditors some ten
years ago; and that since that time the
association has gone forward and been pros
porous; the question now arises can we legally
assume any portion of the old debt; the
bylaws forbid it, and it had been
found necessary to ask the permission of
the legislature. This permission they have
granted to the association by the passage of
permissive act authorizing them to set aside
the bylaw made in relation to the payment of
the relinquished debt. The question now arises
as to whether they had the power to grant any
such permission. He then went on to describe
the three different classes into which the old
debt is divided, and recommended that it would
be well to await the decision of the court before
any action was taken.
question arose as to the legality of the
meeting based upon the following facts At the
last meeting motion was made and seconded
that when this meeting adjourn it adjourn
Tor one week, but this motion was not put be-
fore the meeting, another motion coming up
which took the attention Of the association. The
mover OF the latter motion claimed that the
secretary bad failed to record it as it had been
offered, he claiming that the motion covered
the time Of the adjournment The presdont
however, ruled that the secretary had recorded
the motion as he (the president) had understood
it, and that it did not cover the time of tbo I'D.
