Editorial 43 



Changes in the By-Laws. The most important of these provide 

 for two new classes of members. 



1. Any sporting or fishing club, or society, firm or corporation, 



upon the payment of an annual fee of five dollars, may 

 become a member of the Society and entitled to all its 

 publications. 



2. Any state board or commission, upon the payment of an 



annual fee of ten dollars, may become a member of this 

 Society and entitled to all its publications. 



The first of these By-Laws makes it possible for fishing clubs, 

 or for firms dealing in fish or in fishermen's and angler's supplies, 

 to contribute to the support of this Society which, for the past 

 fifty years, has taken a leading part in furthering the sport of the 

 angler and the production and propagation of fish upon which the 

 industries of many dealers and manufacturers aie based. 



It is hoped that many such clubs and firms may see fit to give 

 their financial support to this Society which has contributed so 

 greatly to their pleasure or welfare. 



As the various state commissions have profited in many ways 

 by the work of the Society, an opportunity is offered for such as 

 are in a position to do so, to contribute financial aid. 



Executive Secretary. A further change in the By-Laws abol- 

 ishes the offices of Corresponding Secretary and Editor and com- 

 bines the duties of these offices with certain others in the office of 

 Executive Secretary.
