 to Three Dollars for the first year, and the 

 annual dues thereafter to be Two Dollars 

 per year for each member thereof. These 

 dues must be paid to the S. A. F. & O. H.

 the members individually, and we further 

 recommend that our constitution and by- 

 laws be amended to comply with this

 special committee of three be appointed to 

 wort out a definite plan of affiliation, the 

 same to be presented as an amendment to 

 the constitution and by-laws. The Com- 

 mittee, consisting of Messrs. George 

 Asmus, chairman, Wm. F. Kasting and J. 

 J Hess, ultimately submitted the foUow-
