The report of Treasurer Hemenway
was very disappointing. 1t showed
the treasury OF the association in very
bad condition. A large number of mem.
bers had failed to pay their dues from
the time they joined. Several of the
members had paid nothing at all Mr.
Hemenway said ne would make an ar.
tive canvass and get in all the money
possible. He had received Si25.2j from
former treasurer Kane. There was nov
a cash balance OF s2SGij There were
bills outstanding amounting to 500
The dues uncolleCted added to the bal
ance in the treasury would just about
pay the associations Indebtedness.
Lorrin Andrews reported that thu
committee on the annual banquet hat
disagreed as TO the banquet but hal
agreed that a smoker would he all
wight. George Davis protested against
the Bar Association lowering its digni'
ty to a smoker. There should be U
banquet.
A. A. Wilder stated that ne represent
ed a minority of the committee whic!
objected to either a banquet, a smoker
or any other form Of entertainment
The first banquet had been enough fol
him. W. o. Smith replied that there
had certainly been discord at the for
mer banquet but that II was reason
able to believe that the coming ban
