REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON THE JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC 



ENTOMOLOGY 



Gentlemen of the American Association of Economic Entomology: 



Your Special Committee on the Journal begs leave to report on the problem of 

 financing the Journal as follows: 



1. That the order of the Association to maintain the Journal during 1919 at its 

 1918 size be interpreted to mean "maintained in quaUty of printing, illustrations, 

 and approximate matter contained but not necessarily at the same or a larger number 

 of pages or the same quahty of paper." That details of this interpretation be left to 

 the business manager and editorial board who have so successfully handled these 

 matters in the past. 



2. That the $600 which the estimates show to be necessary in addition to funds 

 already available, be raised in the following ways: 



A. By a draft on the general funds of the Associations to the amount of $500. 



B. By subscriptions among the membership of the additional sum of $100, which 

 shall be raised as follows: and with the understanding that moneys as contributed 

 shall be repaid in the form of dues and subscription to the Journal at the prices cur- 

 rent for the years concerned, beginning next year: 



a. By subscriptions during this meeting from the floor. 

 6. By subscriptions through correspondence. 



3. That after expiration of present agreements the price of Journal subscriptions 

 to non-members be raised fifty cents a year. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Thomas J. Headlee, 

 Herbert Osborn, 



Commitiee. 



At the request of the President the Secretary explained that it would 

 probably be possible during the coming year to transfer $500 from the 

 Association fund to the Journal fund. This would enable the 

 Journal to be kept at its present size if $100 additional could be 

 raised. The matter of fixing the price of the Journal for the year 

 1920 was fully discussed and it was voted that the report of the com- 

 mittee be accepted and the recommendations adopted with the 

 understanding that the price of the Journal would be fixed by the 

 executive committee. 



President E. D. Ball: I will now call for the report of the Com- 

 mittee on National Museum.
