on Mr.. Evans, secretary of the committee,
for the report. Mr.. Evans submitted de-
tailed plan for reorganization which. with
some slight changes, was adopted after
considerable discussion. A few were in
clined to think the method of getting rid of
objectionable members was as objection
able as the members themselves, but on the
whole there was little opposition to the
method which embraced the following
points as adopted after consideration clause
by clause:

committee of twenty-five members, whose

yided i'm the city. That the initiation fee be
$40, all present memoers paying an assess
ment of 49, which, including the dollar orig
