 R. C. Treherne, Esq., 



Vancouver, B. C: 

 Mv Dear Treherne, — 



When writing to you the other day, I omitted to refer to the proposed 

 changes in the Constitution of the Society of which you have no doubt received 

 a draft from our Secretary, Mr. Baker. In order to effect the changes in the 

 Constitution, it is necessary that each Branch should concur in the proposed 

 alterations. We are anxious to have these changes ratified at the Annual Meet- 

 ing next month, and in order to do so would like to have the concurrence of 

 the B. C. Branch as well as of those in Toronto and Montreal. Vour regular 

 meeting is not to be held until December, but probably you could gather to- 

 gether the residents in and about Vancouver and submit the matter to them. 

 This would fulfill the requirements of the Constitution. We think that the 

 increase in the price of the magazine to persons who do not reside in the 

 Dominion of Canada is very necessary. It actually costs us one dollar and 

 sixty cents at least to publish each copy per annum, and it seems absurd to 

 offer the magazine to outsiders so much below cost. It is not likely that we 

 should lose many subscribers, while it will place the publication on a more 

 nearly paying basis. As far as Canadians are concerned, it will make no 

 difference whatever. With kind regards, 



Yours faithfully, 



CHARLES J. BETHUNE.
