An additional contract for $1O0 was awarded, and has been 8 bone of contention between the mem- bers. at every meeting, for some time. Through some mysterious un- known influence the contract had dis appeared, also 8 copy which MT. Muir head sent in to have signed. To what agencies spiritual or otherwise the disappearance is due is not known.

Most of the mem bers were recalled, but nothing sat- isfactory could be decided upon re- garding the subject, and the matter was laid over until next meeting
