| The recommendation that benefciaries re-
| ceive 81 for eath member at the time OF the
| death, each sum, however, not to eX-
ceed S2,0JU, was adopted This is all that has
hitherto been paid, but as it is claimed by some
that the association Is liable for S2O00, no mat
ter how few members there are, this amendment
is designed to limit the liability of the associa-
ton.
Quite lengthy discussion was had upon the
best method of increasing the membership wi tn
out taking the postofice empiOy es into the as
sociation. Motions of amendment to motions
for paying members to interest themselves by
giving percentage on the membership fee, for
employing some persons to solicit memberships
on salary, etc., were lost, and after
the conclusion that the best means
of increasing the membership numerically was,
bv Individual effort, the whole subject was
tabled.
Several other minor topics connected with the
changing OF the by laws wers acted upon, and
before adjournment it was voted to again take
up and finish the considerat. on of these altera-
tiols for the first business oh Wednesday morn
ing.
