The meeting reassembled at 4 p.m., and, upon motion, Dr. Fernow

A letter was read from Mr. Hiram Robinson, Ottawa, expressing his 

 regret that a sudden indisposition has prevented his attending the meeting. 



The Resolutions referred to the executive Council were presented by 

 the Secretary, and these were dealt with as follows : 



RESOLVED: That the Secretary correspond with members in the sev- 

 eral Provinces, with the Secretaries of Provincial Forestry Associations 

 where such exist, and with Associations of a somewhat similar organization 

 to the Canadian Forestry Association to get information as to the forma- 

 tion of provincial branches of the Association and to report to the Execu- 

 tive Committee as soon as possible. 



RESOLVED: That the Secretary secure all possible information re- 

 garding the publication of the Canadian Forestry Journal bi-monthly or 

 monthly, instead of quarterly, especially as to what increased revenue may 

 be had from increased advertising, and to report to the Executive Commit- 

 tee. 



RESOLVED: That this Association would recommend that the various 

 Provinces cause the existing forest reserves, and those to be created, to be 

 of an absolutely permanent character, so far as actual forest land is con- 

 cerned. 



RESOLVED: That the number of Directors be increased (according to 

 the notice duly given by Mr. H. M. Price) from fifteen to twenty-one, and 

 that all ex-Presidents from (and including) 1909-10, be ex-officio mem- 

 bers of the Board of Directors. 



RESOLVED: That the Secretary be instructed to write to Mr. Hiram 

 Robinson, expressing the regret of the members of the Association at his 

 enforced absence through illness, and their hope that he will soon be again 

 in his wonted health and able to resume his place at their councils. 



RESOLVED: That the Canadian Forestry Association desires to express 

 its satisfaction at the establishment of the Commission of Conservation 

 with Hon. Clifford Sifton as Chairman, as the formation of the Commis- 

 sion will advance greatly the objects for which the Association was formed; 

 and the Association further desires to intimate to the Chairman and mem- 

 bers of the Commission that it will continue, with increased activity, its 

 efforts to advance the conservation and development of the forests of the 

 Dominion, and all that thereon depends, and will, by every means in its 

 power assist and co-operate with the Commission of Conservation in pro- 

 moting the cause for which both exist. 



RESOLVED: That this meeting instruct the Board of Directors to 

 pay Mr. James Lawler, in recognition of his highly satisfactory services 

 as Secretary, a bonus of $100, in addition to his salary.
