mittee which has been accepted by
them i'm the form Incorporated in
these bylaws. This committee is cali

tor final settlement. That is the name
Of the association. The committee
therefore recommends that vote
be taken at this meeting as to wheth-

on this matter at the time the by

will be best suited to the needs of
the larger organization and sincerely
trust that they will prove to be com
