MAKE CHANGES
IN THEIR BYLAWS
Association Plans to Take Over
Part of Powers Now Vested
in Its Officers.

Hereafter the Newark Association Of
Credit Men is likely to work under a
new system Of bylaws which will let
the members run the institution along

vote to do that at their next meet
ing after formally discussing the
change at a meeting last night. Presi-
dent curtiss r. Burnett said afterward
that under the proposed new regime
the entire body of members Will fill
vacancies and hold the officials directly
responsible for their management and
their committees, whose appointments
will not last beyond the officers terms.
It Ia TO be provided that a quorum OF
the association shall consist OF twenty
members In place OF Ave, and seven
for the board Of trustees. In place of
tho nominating committee being Rp-
pointed by the president this commit
tee shall be elected by the members,
who will have the privilege of select
Ing officers they wish to vote upon.
Copies OF the changes will be mailed
to each member and the entire mat
ter will be taken up at the February
meeting.
