12 ILLINOIS STATE ACADEMY OF .SCIENCE 



The Treasurer also reported that six members had 

 sent in their resignations during the year, and by vote 

 the resignations were accepted. In most cases these 

 members had moved to distant states. 



A resolution to be sent to Illinois Congressmen, re- 

 ferring to duty-free importation of scientific apparatus, 

 was presented, and it was voted to approve the resolution. 

 The President was empowered to appoint a committee to 

 study the resolution and to present it at the Academy 

 business meeting. 



Several members who were on the Eockford program 

 had written that they would be unable to attend the con- 

 vention. It was voted that their papers should be pub- 

 lished in the Transactions since they had sent to the 

 Secretary either an abstract of the paper or the com- 

 plete paper. 



The vote of the Council in 1921, relative to charging 

 authors for all pages in excess of 20 printed pages pub- 

 lished in the Transactions, was renewed for another year. 

 The price of 90c per page, to be charged for each page in 

 excess of 20 printed pages, was decided upon by vote. 



The Secretary was instructed to prepare a schedule of 

 prices, based on the last printer's prices, for all pages in 

 excess of 20 printed pages, and for reprints, and to record 

 this schedule in the minutes of the general business 

 meeting. 



In view of the fact that the membership of the Acad- 

 emy had increased so materially during the past two 

 years, thereby increasing the duties of the Secretary, and 

 that other details of the Academy affairs had been placed 

 upon the Secretary, it was voted that he be paid a salary 

 of $150 a year in the future for services. 



By vote the price of the old volumes of the Transac- 

 tions printed by the Academy was increased from 75c to 

 $1.50 per volume. This includes volumes I, II, III, VI, 

 VII, VIII, IX and X. The other volumes, IV, V, XI, 

 XII, XIII, and XIV, which were printed by state aid, 

 are still free to members. The Librarian, Dr. A. R. 

 Crook, State Museum, Springfield, is custodian of the 

 above volumes. 



C. Frank Phipps, Secretary.
