We have examined vouchers and find the report of Treas- 

 urer as above correct. 



Geo. F. Peabody 



L. B. Handy 

 Waldo F. Hubbard 



Auditing Committee. 



On motion of Mr. Clark the report of the Treasurer was 

 accepted and adopted. 



Mr. Chirk: I wish to ask the Treasurer what the net m- 

 creasc in membership is. 



Mr. Huntington: The net increase in membership over last 

 year? About 24 or 25, I think about that, for the reason that we 

 lost 25 members last year, and 18 of those were gentlemen that 

 I assure you I have not sent less than four communications to, 

 urging the payment of their dues, so that there are now none on 

 the list liable to be marked of¥. 



It has always been the custom to submit the report of the 

 Treasurer to an auditing committee, and I would be very glad 

 indeed to have my account audited by a committee. 



The President : The chair will appoint as such coimiiittee 

 Mr. Peabody, Mr. Handy, Mr. Hubbard. (See report above.) 



The Committee on Time and Place reported as follows : 



Mr. Root : I will make the report for the committee, stating 

 that there were Ijut two places named before the committee, 

 Philadelphia and Alilwaukee. The gentleman from Philadelphia 

 after listening to the aj^plication from Milwaukee very graciotisly 

 intmiated that he thought Milwaukee had a prior claim, which 

 left the duties of the committee nominal almost and they were 

 unanimously in favor of recommending [Milwaukee, and also 

 that the time be al)OUt the same as this year, that is, we will 

 have to start one day later on the calendar. Your committee 

 unanimously recommend that this Society meet in Milwaukee, 

 on the 19th, 20th and 21st of July. 



On motion of ]Mr. Davis the report of the committee was 

 accepted and adopted.
