Mr. Becker — There, is a deficiency in 

 this; it does not agree with mine exact- 

 ly; I sent a cheque to Arthur Lee for 

 $4.05 on the 21st, and, of course, I got 

 it charged on mine; the cheque has 

 not yet been returned. Then there is 

 a difference of eight cents between Mr. 

 Stone's account and mine; Mr. Stone 

 sent in some money yesterday and I 

 had to make out an order, and I dis- 

 covered that we didn't balance, but we 

 did not have time to hunt for it; it is 

 only eight cents. 



Pres. Dadant — Are there any ques-, 

 tions you wish to ask the Treasurer in 

 regard to this report? 



Mr. Baxter — Do I understand from 

 the reading of these various sums that 

 the Association is paying some of its 

 state funds out for foul brood inspec- 

 tion ? 



MPj, Stone — Yes, not for time, but for 

 expense. The State inspection fund 

 does not allow the deputies any ex- 

 pense; — it does allow the Inspector, but 

 not the Deputy. 



Our Association voted it that way. 



Pres. Dadant — Any other question on 

 that report? 



Mr. Baxter — How are our State in- 

 spection funds? Have they been used 

 up? 



Pres. Dadant — We will hear that 

 from the Inspector. Any further ques- 

 tions in regard to this report? If not, 

 we will hand it over to the Auditing 

 Committee. 



Mr. Stone — ^Would it not be well, Mr. 

 President, to have the Auditing Com- 

 mittee pass on the Secretary's report 

 and on the Treasurer's report? 



Appointment of Committees. 



Pres. Dadant — Yes, I will appoint on 

 the Auditing Committee Messrs. Moore, 

 Kildow and Stum. 



I will appoint on the Resolution Com- 

 mittee Messrs. Baxter, Roberts, L. C. 

 Dadant. 



Do you wish to appoint an extra 



committee on legislation, same as we 

 did last year? Last year they were 

 added to the Executive Committee. Do 

 you wish to enlarge the committee, or 

 will the committee be the Executive 

 Committee? 



Mr. Moore — I would suggest that the 

 Executive Committee be the Legislative 

 Committee, with power to call on any 

 member of the Association to assist the 

 executive committee, or do any work 

 that they are called upon to do. 



Pres. Dadant — ^Do you make that as 

 a motion? 



Mr. Moore — I do. 



Mr. Kildow — I will second that mo- 

 tion; I want that committee to have a 

 good deal of power. 



Pres. Dadant — You have heard the 

 motion, igentlemen, that the Executive 

 Committee be the Legislative Commit- 

 tee, with ipower to call upon any mem- 

 ber of the Association to act as a mem- 

 ber of that committee. 



Are there any remarks upon the 

 matter? Are you ready for the mo- 

 tion? 



Motion carried. 



Pres. Dadant — Mr. Secretary, is there 

 anything else before we discuss the 

 matters that have been brought for- 

 ward ? 



Mr. Stone — I do want to speak of one 

 thing, Mr. President. It is the under- 

 standing with our stenographer that we 

 pay her so much, and an attendance 

 fee, so much per page toeing paid for 

 the report. I would suggest, as we 

 have been in the habit of not taking 

 down the papers, but putting them in 

 separately— that it would make the re- 

 port very much better if the stenog- 

 rapher is allowed to take all of it. 



When we go to the printer with our 

 report, we receive a bid a great deal 

 cheaper if the report is all typewritten; 

 otherwise it takes the printer much- 

 longer to get the report in shape; and 

 consequently the bid from the printer 

 is much greater than the difference we
