THE LATE Mr. AITKEN.

 business of the meeting I wish to move that on behalf of the members of the

 express to the widow and family of Mr. E. H Aitken their condolence with 

 them in their sorrow and their sense of the great loss the Society has ex-

 services rendered to the Society by Mr, Aitken since its inception.
