member may have a copy for each of the different years, if that 

 is the idea? 



The President : It is for this Society to decide how tu (hs- 

 pose of thcni. 



Mr. Hunting-ton: Mr. Chairman. I wotild ask for informa- 

 tion if there are l)ack copies of all the respective years, or how- 

 far l)ack. and for what years there are copies now in the hands 

 of the Secretary ? 



(Secretary's report in reference to the above read again.) 



The Secretary : I think, Mr. President, that at least five 

 copies, where we have five copies, should be reserved and kept 

 as the property of the Society. 



The President : Some of you make a motion to dispose of 

 this question. It seems to me that members who wanted to com- 

 plete their sets would be ready to pay for them, and new mem- 

 bers would be ready to buy their copies. 



Mr. Dickerson: I would suggest that the copies be held for 

 new members, and that they be given to new members gratuit- 

 ously. 



The President : Any further discussion of this question, if 

 not, it seems to be left just where it was before. The new mem- 

 bers will get them. 



Mr. Davis : I make a motion that the new members — in- 

 cluding my friend Brewster — be charged 25 cents a copy for all 

 back reports that they call for and receive, and that the old mem- 

 bers get them at the same price. 



Motion seconded and carried. 



On motion of the Secretary, it was ordered that five 

 copies be reserved for the Society and that no issue be sold 

 or disposed of below that number. 



Mr. Davis: What is the expense of publishing ? 



The Secretary: The last reports cost, appro.ximately. 20 

 cents a piece. 



Adjourned until 2 p. ni.
