regularly moved and carried
that the printer be furnished
data for this circular letter at

cular letter was referred to
the Advertising Com mittee,
1t was regularly moved and
carried that each community |
be allowed to supply the

with any emblem
they may see fit.
1t was decided by the Asso-
citation, by motion and the
same being carried, that the
secretary of the association
be empowered to furnish any
and all names of inquirers to
any person desiring same, so
