REPORT OF COMMITTEE. 



The Committee appointed to frame By-Laws for a Chapter on " Pub- 

 lication Fund," and to suggest any other Laws that may be necessary 

 for the regulation of the Publication of the Society, made the following- 

 Report, which was laid over for a second reading: — 



To add the following clause to Article III of Chapter 9 : — Provided no author 

 shall be permitted to make any other than verbal alterations in a Paper while 

 in the hands of the Publication Committee without the consent of the Society, 

 nor shall the Committee make any alterations in a Paper committed to it with- 

 out the consent of the author. All alterations (other than verbal) must be read 

 to the Society, and if the types are set, they shall be made only at the expense 

 of the author. 



Article IV. — The Committee shall have power to make such Rules and Regu- 

 lations, in connection with the Publication, as are not inconsistent with the 

 By-Laws. 



Article V of Chapter 5, after Recording Secretary, to read : excepting Trust 

 Funds, in which case the Treasurer shall pay over such funds according to the 

 condition of the Trust. 



CHAPTER X.— PUBLICATION FUND. 



Article I. — The Society hereby establishes a permanent Fund to be called 

 the "Publication Fund," the principal of which shall always be kept invested 

 in good securities, and the interest accruing thereupon shall be applied exclu- 

 sively to the payment of the expenses of publishing the Octavo Periodical Pub- 

 lication of the Society now called "Proceedings." 



Article II. — All contributions in money or in securities which may be made 

 to the "Publication Fund," shall be held by the Society in Trust for the pur- 

 poses set forth in the first Article of this Chapter. 



Article III. — The said contributions shall from time to time be invested in 

 the corporate name of the Society, and any changes in the investments which 

 shall be made by the Treasurer, shall be reported to the Society at its next 

 meeting, with his reasons for so doing, but all monies received in consequence 

 of any such change shall be invested for the same trusts as the original fund. 



Article IV. — It shall be the duty of the Treasurer of the Society to collect 

 the interest accruing on said investments, and pay over the same to the Chair- 

 man of the Publication Committee within thirty days from the receipt thereof, 

 and shall account for the same in his Annual Report to the Society. The 

 Publication Committee, in their Annual Report, shall also account for all mo- 

 nies received by them from the "Publication Fund." 



Change Chapters 10, 11 and 12 to Chapters 11, 12 and 13.
