 to secure prompt publication of the Proceedings. He stated that we still

 After some discussion it was moved and passed that this sum be paid 

 from the surplus funds of the State which were left from the publication 

 of the last Proceedings. This motion was later rescinded.

 the Fort Wayne Printing Company from the funds of our own treasuiy.

 Academy. On motion the money was returned to the treasury and the 

 Fort Wayne Printing Company bill ordered paid.

 this plan be followed provided that capable men can be found who 

 will undertake the work. Motion passed.
