PROCEEDINGS FOR 1910 XIII 
In Section III, four candidates, Messrs. A. S. Eve, Otto Klotz 
J. S. Plaskett and Harold A. Wilson, received each a majority of the 
votes of the Section and, subject to confirmation, were duly elected. 
In Section IV, Mr. J. B. Tyrrell, received a majority of the votes 
of the Section and, subject to confirmation, was duly elected. 
A resolution confirming these elections will be in order. 
It may be explained that in Section I, the present legal number 
of which is thirty, while the number of members on the roll at the time 
was twenty-eight, the Honorary Secretary announced two vacancies; 
while in Sections, II, IIT and IV, which have severally adopted the 
higher limit of forty, not more than four new members to be elected 
annually, he announced four vacancies. It is true that, apart from 
the four additions to be made to these Sections, there existed vacancies 
caused by death, resignation or removal from the country; but the 
Secretary, not being sure whether any of the Sections concerned would 
wish to bring in more than four new members in one year, and one 
Section (III) having* by resolution expressed its desire not to elect 
more than four at one time, thought it well to limit the number to four 
in all three cases.
