The question of proper receptacles for the collection was dis- 

 cussed and the Section entertains the hope that the Council will, at 

 an early date, grant an amount of money sufficiently large to be 

 used by the Section for the purpose of purchasing such cases. 



The Section is at present composed of nine members and it is 

 believed that this number will increase substantially in the near 

 future. 



The meetings will be held on the last Thursday evening of each 

 month. 



Respectfully submitted, 



(Signed) Hebman Schwabz, 



Secretary.
