had before us an expenditure greater than $50 per year, and felt it 

 to be our duty to call attention to it. 



The motion of Mr. Smith was then unanimously adopted, and it 

 was further voted that the by-law referred to be amended by insert- 

 ing $500 in place of $50, and that the executive committee be au- 

 thorized to expend that amount annually, at their discretion, for 

 the current expenses of the society. 



Mr. Mendenhall. In order to 'make the record complete, and 

 promote good feeling in this matter, I offer the following resolu- 

 tion. 



Whereas, This Society has made an exhibition of the fruits of 

 Minnesota at the recent meeting of the American Pomological 

 Society, and whereas the Wilder Silver Medal was awarded the 

 Society thereon ; therefore, 



Resolved^ That the action of the executive committee in author- 

 izing the expenditures that Avere made, and of our Secretary in his 

 capacity as delegate, be indorsed and approved. 



The resolution was unanimously adopted.
