152 NEBRASKA STATE HOKTIGUl/rUKAL SOCIETY. 



President (jreeu : It seems to me as a simple business 

 proposition tliat any mention made in regard to business mat- 

 ters our ISecretiiry should have a record of it. lie should take 

 doAvn a report of everything, like that motion of Mr. Harri- 

 son's yesterday in regard to these Auxiliary Societies. I 

 believe it would be better, with the business transactions, 

 for a record to be made of them just the same as any lodge 

 secretary would record any motion that was carried. 



Mr. Brown : In order to settle this matter I move that the 

 Secretary be instructed to provide a permanent record for 

 the business transactions of the Society at the expense of the 

 Society. I do not think it is best to go ahead and spend the 

 money of the Society without having a permanent record of 

 what we are doing. Seconded by Mr. Williams, and carried. 



Mr. Harrison : Wouldn't it be a good idea to have the 

 minutes read at the morning session the next day and then 

 we will know what occurred yesterday and if there is any- 

 thing neglected we can rectify it then? 



Mr. Christy: There are a taw of us that can tell what 

 was done. 



Mr. Beltzer: In case committees were appointed at last 

 year's meeting Avhen tlie report is read it shows what the 

 committee was appointed for and what their duties were 

 and that report brings out a report of the doings of that 

 committee. The way it is going on here now it is as Mr. 

 Christy says, we might have some important committees ap- 

 pointed and Avouldn't get their report; it takes but a little 

 while to read that portion of the record that pertains to the 

 business transacted at the opening of the meeting. 



L. O. Williams: I had in mind, and the reason I called 

 up the matter, there was a committee appointed last year 

 referring to a certain matter, for instance, our legislation 

 committee. We should have a report from the legislative 

 committee showing what was done, and I don't know of any 

 better time than now for that report. 



Secretarv Marshall : T do not believe one member of this 

 committee is here now,
