HARDWOOD RECORD 



25 



The motion made by Mr. Day, with Mr. 

 Ballon 's appreciative amendment, was lieart- 

 ily endorsed by the association, and carried 

 l)y rising vote. 



Mr. Diggins: I trust Mr. White and the 

 other officers will feel that this association 

 has been and is with them. 



Mr. White: I thank you, gentlemen. J 

 did not expect such a resolution as this for 

 the little trifling things I have been able to 

 do. I was glad to do anything I did in my 

 weak and humble way, and I wish to say that 

 if there is anything I can do in future, and 

 am in reach, I am at your command. 



Mr. Diggins: The chair is advised by the 

 secretary that the bydaws are silent on the 

 method of selecting a board of directors. It 

 consists of sixteen gentlemen. For your guid- 

 ance I will read the names of the present 

 board. How will you proceed to the elec- 

 tion? 



Mr. White : I think the directors were 

 a[ipointcd by the officers to represent different 

 districts where they can best take care of 

 the work they are needed in. I think every- 

 body here would be very willing to trust it 

 to you and your lieutenants to appoint them. 



Board of Directors Selected. 



After some discussion of the rules, the 

 work of selecting a board of directors was 

 entrusted to the Nominating Committee, with 

 the understantling that the president, two 

 vice presidents and treasurer be members of 

 it. The following were selected and the secre- 

 tary instructed to cast the ballot of the en- 

 tire association for their election: 



F. A. Diggins, C. A. Bigelow, E. W. Smith, 

 F. J. Cobbs, Wm. H. White, W. W. Mitchell, 

 R. Hanson, H. Ballou, G. von Platen, E. G. 

 Peters, W. L. Martin, D. H. Day, H. A. 

 Batchelor, E. .1. Clark, E. Fitzgerald, H. M. 

 Loud. 



The visiting members and guests were then 

 invited by the Cadillac contingent to be their 

 guests the following morning in an auto tour 

 of the points of interest and lumbering opera- 

 tions about the city. Those who remained 

 until Thursday took advantage of the invi- 

 tation and were taken through the various 

 plants, and for a trip around the lakes which 

 was thoroughly enjoyable. 



Next Meeting Place. 



C. A. Bigelow extended a cordial invitation 

 to the association to hold its next session in 

 Saginaw, at such time as the president and 

 secretary should elect. The suggestion was 

 agreeable to all concerned, and Saginaw was 

 decided upon as the place where the next 

 meeting shall be called. 



Mr. Bigelow moved that the chair appoint 

 a committee of three to take up the subject 

 of forestry and report later, at their con- 

 venience, following out the suggestions of 

 Mr. Fathauer. 



The motion was seconded and carried. 



Mr. Diggins: In regard to a secretary who 

 shall give his entire time to the work of this 

 association, I think it would be proper for 

 you if you so desired, to leave this matter in

the hands of the Executive Conmiittee, and 

 let them employ any man whom they may 

 see fit, and I as chairman of the Board of 

 Directors, will endeavor to have a committee 

 appointed in whom you will have contidence. 



E. J. Clark: I move we grant the Execu- 

 tive Committee power to act in the appoint- 

 ment of a paid secretary. 



On being seconded and put to vote the mo- 

 tion jirevailed. 



Executive Board Chosen. 



Mr. Day: As some of the members of the 

 Board of Directors may not be here tomor- 

 row, I think it would be desirable to hold 

 a meeting right after this one, and wind up 

 its affairs. 



Adjournment was then taken and Mr. 

 Day 's suggestion acted upon, with the result 

 that the directors chose as an Executive 

 Board F. A. Diggins, W. W. Mitchell and 

 Wm. H. White.
