OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. Secretary.
On motion Of Mr.. Shaw, it was voted that
the committee on behalf of the association
arrange with the officers of the association
relative to the manner of issuing certificates
of stock
Major Melcher moved the subcommittee on
printing prepare certificate OF stock for die-
tribution, at the earliest possible moment,
among the stockholders. Carried.
In speaking OF the future work of tue agsc-
citation, the president said that it was the
opinion of the executive committee that public
meetings for July, August and September be
discontinued, but that the committee go about
quietly and try and secure large subscriptions
during that time. They also thought that later
in the season. perhaps the first Of the winter,
the association should hold large fair. With
So, 900 subscribed, 5000 more raised by octo-
ber, and $5,cc9 from fair, there would be
$4,000 for the year.
Col. Roberts thought the society should push
along little faster Arrangements should be
made for the fair at once.
Capt Thomes thought an entertainment
committee could be raised to prepare for the
fair.
Mr.. Strout asked that the subcommittee on
subscription be permitted TO make their final
report to the treasurer and then be discharged.
BE said they had hoped to make a complete
report tonight but it had been impossible
especially as donations were coming in since
the Memorial Day. Many who couldn't con-
tribute on Memorial Day had done so since.
Mr.. Stront's request was granted.
Major Melcher thought it wasn't well TO
waste energy in public meetings in summer,
but that the executive committee should keep
hard at work In quiet way If they didn't
raise $4,000 within the year they would lose
Mr.. Thomas s., 900 subscription.
Tho President thought every one could work
on some other one and secure subscriptions
Many had subecribed who intended to give
more than they had on Memorial Day. The
big sums must be procured by the influence
some men had on the pockets of those with
big purses.
On motion of Capt. Thomes il was voted to
leave the matter to the executive committee
with power to ae.ociate with them whomever
they wished.
Mayor Deering suggested that the executive
committee get the ladies together in Reception
Hall in September and map out plan for
them to operate upon for the fair. He had
heard many ladies say they desired to take
hold
Meeting then adjourned.
