THE BEEKEEPERS' REVIEW 183 



Whereas, There has not been a unanimous opinion as to the 

 poHcies of the Association and as to the desirability of the contin- 

 uation of "The Review," 



Resolved, That the delegates desire to explain to Mr. Town- 

 send that any criticism which may have been made was in belief 

 in his absolute integrity, and they further desire that he understand 

 that they have not failed to value his services, nor have they ques- 

 tioned his faithfulness as an official of the National Beekeepers' 

 Association. 



Resolved, That the Directors express to Mr. Townsend their 

 regret that he could not be present. 



Mr. Millen gave Mr. Townsend's view on the subject of mem- 

 bership fees and asked that 'The Review" be allowed to be sent to 

 members and those not members and that the fees be $1.50 instead 

 of $2.00. Moved by Mr. Millen and carried to amend Section 5 by 

 making the annual fees $1.50 of which $.50 should be applied to the 

 general fund and $1.00 be applied to the subscription fund. 



The following resolution, presented by Dr. Phillips, was adopt- 

 ed: 



Whereas, It may be that certain details have been overlooked 

 in the re-organization of the National Beekeepers' Association, or 

 have beeii acted upon in some way not in accord with the laws of 

 Illinois under which the Association was incorporated. 



Resolved, That the delegates in session authorize the Execu- 

 tive Committee so to rectify or change any such actions that they 

 will be legal and to conform, as nearly as possible, with the actions 

 of the delegates in session. 



Moved by Mr. Jager and carried to thank the old officers for 

 the performance of their duties during the incumbency of office. 



The Constitution of the old Association was read by Mr. Wil- 

 liams. 



The Chair made the following ruling, which was sustained: 

 That the National Beekeepers' Association, unincorporated, has 

 duly petitioned the National Beekeepers' Association, incorporated, 

 for full membership, and in due time the National Beekeepers' As- 

 sociation, unincorporated, will be duly recognized. 



Dr. Phillips presiding at 7 :00 p. m. 



Moved and carried that the First National Bank of Boulder,
