Net Deficit Of $e,131.67.
In presenting the report Of the magazine
committee as to the printing Of the pro-
ceedings of the nineteenth continental
congress, Mrs. Mussey said:
"As reported by the magazine commit
tee at the last congress, there was a net
deficit for the year 190e-1O Of $613I6f.
1t always has been claimed that this
deficit in the magazine account was &C.
casioned by the printing of the con-
gressional proceedings in the magazine.
I'VE were able this year to make a con-
tract on competitive bids for the printing
OF the proceedings separately, at a con-
sderably lower price per page than We
paid per page for the magazine, and the
contents per page OF the proceedings as
printed measured up about one-fifth more
than the magazine page. The only item
If expense that is greater for the separate
volume is postage.
Tho great advantages of a separate
volume are the index, which was made by
an expert under the supervision of the
chairman Of this committee, and the fact
that the volume was delivered complete
by July 10.
Favors Separate Volume.
Eve therefore recommend that the
proceedings Of the twentieth continental
congress be published in a separate vol
ume properly indexed. as soon as possi-
BILE after the adjournment of congress-
and that copy be furnished free to each
national officer. including state regents
ana to each chapter"
hit
ing her reports questions began to pour
In from all corners Of the half regarding
the comparative costs of the publication
OF the magazine and Of the report of. the
old and the new systems. Mrs. Mussey
declared that the new system. which has
been In vogue for five months, 80 far as
the publication OF the magazine is con-
cerned, would prove to be a great money
saver.
The questions and answers were threat
ening to consume all OF the morning SEES
sion when the motion Of Mrs. smalIwood
interviewed and the final disposition Of
the problem whether the society shall
continue to have its magazine printed by
contract, or shall return to the old sys-
tenn OF conducting it's own publication,
was deferred until Friday.
Most important of all the meetings Of
the twentieth annual congress will be the
sessions tomorrow morning and after
noon, at which will be nominated and
elected the officers who will rule over the
destinies Of the d. A. r. during the ensu-
nihcance OF this meeting announcement
