The keeper was employed for IL
months Of 1903 at a salary Of $500 per
month. Nine members responded to
the request to give the care Of their sec
tions to the Association and it is hoped
the number will be doubled for the
present year.
Owing to the weather, which made
it impossible to do any outside work
to any advantage, the keeper was not
employed for January or February
1904 but began work March LIST.
Being a public organization the Asso-
citation feels called upon to make a
public report, therefore submits this
hoping it will meet with appreciation
and trusting it will awaken new inter-
est in this work which should be 50
dear to each one.
