J. C. COFFMAN, Committee. 



Upon motion, duly seconded and put by the president, the re- 

 port was approved. 



The President : That brings us up to the report of the commit- 

 tee on resolutions. If anybody has anything to talk about I 

 would like to hear from them. They thought they would be ready 

 to report about this time, about 11 o'clock. 



Just while we are waiting — Mr. Gunn was to tell you about 

 this live stock meat board, but his time is taken up with the com- 

 mittee on resolutions. I should not have appointed him there. I 

 didn 't think about it at that time. You possibly would like to have 

 some little idea of what they are doing. 



From what I can gather from what Mr. Gunn has told the 

 board of directors, the meat board is now beginning to function. 

 They have been handicapped since the organization was formed 

 because they could not find or locate a suitable manager. The 

 plan provides for a manager for the board. He tells us that their 

 greatest difficulty is to locate a suitable man, a man that is big 

 enough for as big a job as that is; but at the last meeting of the 

 board they appointed a special committee which is now searching 

 the country for a suitable manager. At the same time they are 

 going on with their work under the temporary management of the 

 secretary and president of the board, assisted by Mr. Thomas E. 

 Wilson, and they are getting out their publications in the way of 

 advertisements. I have received quite a number. They are getting 

 in position to start this advertising campaign in a systematic and, 

 we believe, beneficial way.
