PROCEEDINGS FOR 1912 XXXV 
to His Royal Highness in Council the purchase by the Dominion of 
Canada of a radium standard which shall be kept on deposit for 
purposes of comparison in the Electrical Division of the Bureau of 
Weights and Measures at Ottawa. 
The copy of the radium standard should consist of about 10 milli- 
erammes of either radium bromide or radium chloride costing at 
present values about $80 a milligramme or $800 in all.—Carried. 
The Nominating Committee then presented the following report, 
read by Dr. Bell Dawson:— 
Orrawa, May 15th, 1912. 
We beg to say, with regard to the position of Vice-President of the 
Society, that on careful consideration of the claims of the various 
sections, we have found that sections I and IV are most entitled to 
recognition. In view of the meeting of the International Geological 
Congress in Canada in 1913 it will be appropriate for the President of 
the Society to be a member of section IV. We therefore thought it 
advisable to nominate the Vice-President from that section, and we 
would suggest that section I should be given special consideration in 
the choice of the Vice-President for next year. 
For the positions of Honorary Secretary and Honorary Treasurer, 
it was not possible to make a better selection; the present occupants 
of those positions having shown such zeal and ability in the interests 
of the Society. 
We therefore beg to make the following recommendations :— 
For President—Dr. W. D. LeSueur. 
For Vice-President—Dr. F. D. Adams. 
For the Honorary Secretary—Mr. D. C. Scott. 
For Honorary Treasurer—Mr. L. M. Lambe. 
For the Nominating Committee, 
W. BELL Dawson, 
Convener. 
It was moved by Dr. W. Bell Dawson, seconded by Dr. Morgan— 
That the report of the Nominating Committee be taken into 
consideration.—Carried. 
Moved by Dr. Bryce, seconded by Mr. Bouchette— 
That Dr. W. D. LeSueur be appointed President for the ensuing 
year.—Carried. 
Moved by Dr. Macallum, seconded by Dr. Barlow— 
That Dr. Frank Adams be appointed Vice-President for the 
ensuing year.—Carried.
