Mr. Green: Tlie same motion in regard to Frey as to Mr. 

 Williams. 



(Carried: Mr. Frey elected vice-presidenj.) 



Mr. Williams: Nominations for secretary are now in order: 



Mr. Simanton: I think we have a splenaid secretary, and he has 

 done lots of work for us, and good work, too. I would place Mr. 

 Henderson's name in nomination and move that the society elect him 

 by acclamation. Seconded. Carried. 



Mr. Williams: Names for nominations for treasurer are now in 

 order: 



Mr. Frey: Mr. President, the treasurer of this society is one of 

 the most important officers. I think there is g-oing to be quite a good 

 deal of financial affairs for him to look after. Therefore I place in 

 nomination our present treasurer Mr. Atkinson. 



Mr. Simanton: As our present treasurer has been very faithful, 

 and has not expended any funds that have not been accounted for, I 

 will second the nomination. Carried. 



Mr. Williams: Nominations for trustees are now in order: 



Mr. Atkinson: Would it be in order to say that the Treasurer 

 is ready at any time to take membership fees and account for them. 

 But he does not know all the persons who would like to become 

 members. 



Mr. Green: I move you, that the rules be suspended and that the 

 present board of directors be elected by acclamation. Seconded, 

 Carried. 



Mr. Williams: The first paper will be by Charles H. Green, of 

 Fremont on "Plants and Flowers Useful for the Home."
