REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS 



Dr. Ward : The committee has considered the resolution 

 as to the length and weight of whitefish drafted by Mr. Wil- 

 son and read yesterday by Dr. Palmer at the conclusion of 

 Mr. Wilson's paper. In view of the fact that different au- 

 thorities, state and national, have different opinions in re- 

 gard to this problem, it did not seem wise to propose that 

 this Society at the present moment should put itself on record 

 as favoring positively and exclusively any one method. Con- 

 sequently no action was taken on the resolution. 



The following resolutions have been approved by the 

 committee : 



Resolved, That the thanks of the American Fisheries Society are 

 due in especial measure to Mr. S. F. Duyyen, President, and to the 

 management of the Albany Hotel for the numerous courtesies shown, 

 and particularly for the magnificent game banquet on the closing day 

 of the session. 



Resolved, That the Society owes to its retiring President, Mr. S. 

 F. Fullerton, to its energetic and most efficient Secretary, Mr. Ward T. 

 Bower, and to its devoted Treasurer, Mr. C. W. Willard, a de?)t of 

 gratitude for unstinted service in its behalf. 



Resolved, That the American Fisheries Society expresses its thanks 

 to the Denver Convention League, the Mayor of Denver, and to the 

 lion. James A. Shinn, State Game and Fish Commissioner, for the 

 splendid hospitalities extended to its members at this meeting. 



Resolved, That a vote of thanks lie tendered to the Hon. W. L. May 

 and his associates on the local committee for their careful preparations 

 - which contributed so markedly to make this meeting a success.
