PROCEEDINGS. 169 



can get at this is to appoint a committee to go before that asso- 

 ciation, and present our cause. So I move then that a com- 

 mittee of three be appointed to find out when and where this 

 association meets, and make arrangements to wait on them and 

 present our question of freight rates. 



Motion seconded. 



Mr. a. J. Brown: We have usually found that we can get 

 what we ask for if we show a good reason for it. 



Mr. Parker: We don't expect to ask for anything that is 

 unreasonable. The South-Eastern Nebraska Fruit Growers' 

 Association has already appointed a committee of five on their 

 part to look after this matter. This committee will appoint, 

 probably this afternoon, one or more of their number to see the 

 railroad people, and go to the Traffic Association meeting if 

 necessary. I think Mr. Pollard's motion is all right. If we 

 follow it up we will probably get something reasonable. There 

 is not a nurseryman who is not just as much interested in this 

 question as the fruit growers are. 



Motion mad'e to table the above motion until 2 :00 P. M. 



The following resolution, introduced by Mr. E. F. Stephens, 

 was unanimously adopted by the society: 



Whereas, the records and publications of this society have 

 for a long time been kept in the State Historical Society rooms, 

 and the publications distributed by that society on application 

 at its own expense; 



Resolved, That this society extends its hearty good will and 

 approval of the efforts of the State Historical Society to secure 

 a permanent fire proof building from the legislature. 



Meeting adjourned until 2:00 P. M. 



THIRD SESSION. 



2:00 P. M. 

 The business of the original motion relative to freight rates 

 was taken up, and Mr. Pollard made a new motion to the effect 

 "* 'That a committee of three be appointed to meet and confer 

 with the Railroad men in regard to freight rates. " 



Motion seconded.
