Mr. John C\ Bull. Secretary. 



The meeting was called to order at 10:30 by the President. 



The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. 



The Prp:sident. — The next thing on the program is the report 

 of the Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. Bull. 



The Secretary-Treasurer. — Mr. President and Gentlemen, I 

 don't suppose it is necessary to give any itemized account of this. 

 Printing and postage is the most 

 of the expenses. We started in 

 with S28.62 in the treasury, and 

 we had eighty-two members paid 

 in last year, and we had two 

 donations, one was for $7.50 from 

 the Michigan Bee-Keepers' Asso- 

 ciation. It was donated as an 

 appreciation of those price letters 

 and to help finance the work 

 along. And the total receipts 

 from what we had on hand for 

 the year was $173.62. Paid out 

 for printing and postage- — and 

 this paid out also includes 50 

 cents membership to Mr. Stone 

 for the Illinois State — paid our 

 $111.60, and the balance on hand 

 up to this year was $62.02. Then 

 there arc a few members who 

 have mailed in their membership 

 for this 3'ear, about seven mem- 

 bers have already mailed in. 

 Those are not included in this 

 statement. We have $62.02 balance in the treasury at the present 

 time. 



A Member. — I move that the report of the Treasurer be accepted 

 and placed on file. 



The motion was seconded. 



The President. — There will be an Auditing Committee appointed 

 later to go over this work and verify it. 



The motion was carried. 



The President. — The report of standing committees. I believe 

 we have only one standing committee, that is the Committee on Prices.

Secretary, Chicago-Xorthwestern Bee- 

 Keepers" Association.
