Report of Committee on Ways and Means. 91 



Ex-Gov. N. J. Colman, of Missouri — Fearing that the kind, gen- 

 erous act of Mr. Ohnier may be forgotten in the resolutions, I move 

 a vote of thanks to him. 



Prof. Burrill, of Illinois — It seems to me the President's Address 

 has been too comprehensive to pass without some more mention. I 

 will not take anything from the Committee on Resolutions, but^I 

 move a hearty vote of thanks for this Address. 



Which was unanimously adopted. 



Mr. Wright, of Iowa — For the committee on the Reports of the 

 Secretary and Treasurer, made the following report : 



The undersigned, Committee on Ways and Means, to whom was referred the re. 

 ports of the Secretary and Treasurer, beg to say that we have carefully examined 

 said reports and the vouchers attached, and find them correct, and move their 

 adoption by the Society. 



Geo. H. Wright. 

 John Buck. 



T. V. MUNSON. 



Which report was adopted. 



KEPORT OF COMMITTEE OF WAYS AND MEANS. 



The Committee of Ways and Means made the following additional 

 report, which, after the discussion following, was adopted, and the 

 necessary funds provided by voluntary contributions. 



Your committee, to whom was referred the question of ways and means,]^is of 

 opinion that, under existing circumstances, the only feasible mode of providing 

 compensation justly due the Secretary of this Association for his valuable services, 

 is by voluntary contributions on the part of members, friends, and State organiza- 

 tions existing within its jurisdiction : 



Therefore, we recommend for adoption such plan. 



Geo. H. Wright, 



Chairman Committee. 

 DISCUSSION ON THE REPORT. 



The President — Our Secretary has rendered us faithful service. 

 We must not ask a man who can illy afford it to do such work for 

 nothing. The proposition is that we go down into our pockets and 

 pay him. 



Mr. Wright — I learn that the Secretary, in addition to his labors, 

 has paid out several dollars for the Society. I speak of it because 

 he is too modest. This manifests his interest in the work.
