1891.] PUBLIC DOCUMENT — No. 4. 233 



from this discussion, I move that the Chair, in conference 

 with the Secretary of the State Board, appoint a committee 

 from this meeting, to consist of five members, to present 

 this question to the committee on taxation at the coming 

 session of the Legislature, and invite as many farmers to 

 appear before the committee as possible. 



The motion was put, and unanimously carried. 



The Chairman. I appoint, with the approval of the 

 Secretary, as the committee, Hon. E. B. Lynde of West 

 Brookfield, N. W. Shaw of North Raynham, J. P. Eaton of 

 Auburn, J. H. Dyer of Marlborough and Chas. G. Parker 

 of Holden. 



Secretary Sessions. The hour is nearing when we ought 

 to adjourn. I want to recognize the assistance rendered by 

 those gentlemen from outside the State, and the bountiful 

 results that have come from the lectures and discussions 

 during these meetings. The men who have so kindly come 

 here at my request have exceeded my expectations, and my 

 hearty thanks are due to them and due also to the members 

 of the Board who have attended the meetings so closely and 

 have stayed through the last afternoon session. 



At my request, several questions have been placed in the 

 question-box, with the understanding that they were to be 

 answered if there was a lull in the discussion. None of 

 you, I think, have seen a lull. 



Mr. Wood of Newton. As the discussion has continued 

 beyond the usual time on the last afternoon, and seems to 

 have arrived at a point where a definite statement of the 

 views of the meeting can be formulated by the committee 

 appointed by the chairman, I move that we now adjourn. 



This motion was carried, and the meeting adjourned 

 sine die.
