81 votes represented either in person
Tor by proxy. 1t was then decided by
a unanimous vote that the names as

were called for for the Office of Chair

Esecretary Mr.. c. E. Taylor was chosen
unani imously.

Iofice of Treasurer, which fell to John

chairman and secretary, to act as an
Iexecutive committee. The motion
lpreyailed and the chair appointed as
the three who should act with himself
