a member of this Society and entitled to all its publications. 

 Libraries shall be admitted to membership at Two Dollars a 

 year." 



Libraries were at first included in this proposed change, but 

 after some discussion, it was decided to admit them on the old 

 basis at Two Dollars a year. With this exception, the resolution 

 was adopted unanimously to read as above indicated. 



(3) A change providing for State Membership. "Any state 

 board or commission may, upon the payment of an annual fee of 

 Ten Dollars, become a member of this Society and be entitled to all 

 of its publications, " this to constitute paragraph 3 of Article II. 



After some discussion in which some of the members advocated 

 a fee of Twenty-five Dollars, the resolution was carried unani- 

 mously in the form above stated. 



Mr. Graham: There seem to be no other changes necessary. 

 The Constitution was changed last year, permitting us to take in 

 the Shell Fish Commissioners and we have made arrangements with 

 Mr. Killian, of Maryland, to take the matter up with that Society. 

 In all probability, when the next meeting of their Society is held at 

 Atlanta, next May, they will vote unanimously to come into this 

 organization and take State Memberships. Fifteen states belong 

 to that organization and it will give us considerable revenue.
