REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON PUBLISHING PROCEEDINGS 



Your committee recommends that the Association hereafter employ a 

 stenographer to report the proceedings of the annual meeting, and these 

 proceedings, after being edited by the outgoing Secretary, shall be printed 

 and distributed to members of the Association. The expense incurred for 

 such stenographic service, printing, etc., shall be met by an assessment 

 levied pro rata on each state, territory or Dominion of Canada, represented 

 or desiring representation in the Association: provided that by reason of 

 the law of such state or territory the ruling of boards of audit prevents their 

 paying the assessment due, such deficit shall be apportioned pro rata among 

 the other states, territories and Dominion of Canada. The failure of any 

 state or territory to be able to share its burden of expense shall not prevent 

 its representatives participating in the meeting.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE 



Your Committee on the Advisability of Securing Consular Certification to 

 Foreign Certificates reports that in its opinion this Association should favor 

 any method that would tend to secure proper inspection or that would add 

 to the value of certificates. It feels, however, that the value of a certificate 

 depends primarily upon the standing and official position of the individual 

 making the inspection, and that no consular certification can add to this 

 value. 



It recommends, therefore, that no action requiring consular certification 

 to inspection certificates be taken.
