W. G. Collins, alta previous meeting,
had been appointed to see what could
be done towards securing a competent
secretary. He stated that such per-
son had been found, but with his salary,
travelling and the Incidental expenses,
the Association would have to raise
fully $4,000. The matter was thorough
ly discussed and it was decided to let
the matter of a secretary rest until the
next meeting, The plan decided upon
to raise part of the $1,000 was by Sc
curing an appropriation of $3.50 from
each of the six counties taken in by the
association. This, with the amount
owed by the members would make
SO, 900. An attempt will be made to
raise the balance by subscription.
A. l.. Kreutzer, of this city, intro
duced the following resolution which
was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The financial resources of
the Wisconsin Valley Advancement
Association. from the payment of
annual dues, are not sufficient to meet
the salary of a competent secretary and
the other current expenses of the asso-
citation; and
WHERE AS, 1t is practically indispens-
able, in order to realize the full benefit
of the past years efforts, that a vigor-
Gus campaign be carried on during the
coming year;
THEREFORE,, BE 1T RESOLVED, That
the directors take up with the local
associations of which they are members
and with the members in the counties
in which they reside, the matter of con-
tributing to fund for the payment of
the salary of secretary and other
necessary expenses. Tie amount esti-
mated as needed to place the Associa-
ton upon a working basis IS So, 900; this
sum will enable the Association to con-
tinue its work and utilize the informa-
ton and statistics already collected in
regard to the water powers and other
resources of the valley.
1t was voted that copy of the resolu-
ton be sent to each local organization
and also that the directors report of the
January meeting.
Web. Brown thought that the non
resident owners of lands in the differ
ent counties should help along this good
work, hence a committee, with the
president as chairman, was appointed
to get up circular letter to this end.
The balance appointed on the commit
tee were w. E. Brown, N. A. Colman
and w. G. Collins.
On an invitation extended by A. L.
Kreutzer, it was decided to hold the

sau.
