s. B. p .Mrs Auditors
Secretary Chapman moved to amend the
auditors report by adding an item of as
sets discovered after the report was made
up-S100 due for flock fees. The amend
ment was made, and the true total of as
sets-S31 .47-thus shown. The re-
port was then accepted.
Vice-President ID. w. Prime of Bran
don was requested to take seat on the
stage, but declined on the ground that it
was too cold at such an elevation.
f. n. Bissell called up the item in the
auditors report from which it appeared
that President James had charged S34 for
his expenses to st. Louis. Secretary
Chapman had explained in reading the
report, that of the total of 500 set down
as assessment and expenses of the presi-
sociation." S75 was the assessment and
S34 the expenses. Mr.. Bissell said he
never got anything for expenses when he
made these trips US president, and
thought the precedent bad one to estab
lish,
Secretary Chapman said the precedent
had been established long ago.
President James said he put in his bill
because he supposed that was the custom.
Mr.. Bissell moved that that part of the
auditors report relating to the presidents
expenses to st. Louis be stricken out.
George Hammond expressed the opin
ion that Mr.. James bill was just. An
association of 1900 members ought to be
willing to pay for representation in the
! National association.
Mr.. Bissell's motion was tried and
lost.
The secretary read number of
changes in the bylaws and rules made
by the executive board. Bylaw | is
amended by adding-''a person who
raises no lambs in any given year shall
be considered a member under bylaw
No -: rule II is so amended that the D
cent fee for recording transfers is not
required; by rule IL as it now stands in
dividual certificates are to be provided
with transfers blanks on the back; rule
20 with reference to the publication of
volume three is amended to suit the pres
ant condition of things, and rule % is so
changed as to prevent the duplication
of the names of stock rams and conse-
quent confusion.
The amendment to the bylaws was
adopted, after some discussion.
