"Pompadour" may not be "crusty," but

operation in the work in which he is 20
earnestly lsboring. / have heard men,
bers making inquiry about the increase of
dues for 1892. | think a more thorough
explanation should have been made. !,
being a member of the executive commit
tee, will simply give my views on the
matter, although what NAV advance will
not not be officially stated, as it is not de-
volved on me as duty to do this.
Let US all consider that the increase ia
only 10 cents moro than formerly and the
increase, as you will see by consulting the
standing matter. was only for '92. The
club was subject TO many small expendi-
lures which nearly exhausted the treas
ury. For this reason the increase was
made. And this being the only means Of
raising sufficient money to defray the
necessary expenses OF the club, 1t was
resorted to.
The fact that the treasurer has thanked
the members for paying their dues so
promptly gives us TO know that / he men,
bers are aware that the club must have
money TO defray expenses. OF course,
according to the constitution, If the club
does not want the % cents from each
member TO carry on its business the dues
can be decreased. so you see it may not be
anything permanent.
As my letter is somewhat lengthy must
desist / am ever your II. L. c. brother,
