3. That the board take steps a once
to collect all outstanding money un
paid on the maintenance fund: II pos
i sible the entire amount due for the
second year: and also the renewal OF
as many expired memberships as
possible. That this money shall be
held intact to be used for the run
ming expenses OF the Association from
July I, 1913. in order that there be
some available funds to carry on the
work until the Association is placed
on its feet,
l. That the board give serious con.
sideration to the part OF this report
relating TO repairs and improvements
to the building, and make plans look.
ing toward the carrying out of this
report. This is vital to the future of
the work the building is very unat-
tractiye, the basement being partic.
ularly objectionable. We believe The
money can be raised without much
dillloulty. 8t8 K8
5. That the FIRST week in Septem.
Der or Whereabouts be set apart for
a campaign to raise the cost of the
repairs, MAS large a part Of the in
dcbtednessV 5 may seem wise. We do
not believe II wise to undertake to
raise the total Indebtedness OF the
Association at this time; but we dc
believe it possible to raise from three
to FIVE thousand dollars at once to
meet the cost of necessary repairs
and such obligations as may be press
ing. Subscriptions to this fund shall
not be credited on memberships.
6. That arrangements be made foi
the employing of a general secretary
and a physical director at such saIar
les as may be necessary to secure eff
flcient men. These men to begin
work in September. The whole sue
cess Of the Association depends al
most entire'y upon the personality OF
the general secretary; he is tie key
r man 10 the situation. And that being
, true a question of money must not
prevent the securing of the type of o

man is dear at any price; the efficient

but the best. This Is the month in
which changes for the year are made
and there are now several good men
available This matter ought to be
, settled at once in order that we
have the choice of the available men
Z. That the basis of membership be
, changed as follows: Sustaining mem
bership $40 and over per year; Sen
'ors. Is years of age and over. Sc per
year; Intermediates, II to IS years,
$4 per year; Juniors, 10 TO IA years,
SO per year. That new class to be
known as honorary memberships be
! Termed, which shall consist Of ladies'
, who desire to support the work of the
Association, and wirv pay IS and over
, per year. This will not interfere in
any way with the regular work Of tho
Ladies' Auxiliary And We further
