indebtedness be approved, on condition that said sum be restored to the

 of 4 per cent, and that the Treasurer be authorized to pay indebtedness of 

 $1,991.15, on account of the printing of the 1920 Transactions, from this 

 8um. 



2. That all members be appealed to for contributions at this meeting 

 to augment the voluntary contributions so far received which now amount 

 to about $567.00. 



3. That an appropriate circular or letter be prepared and printed calling 

 attention to the advantage of sportmen's and anglers' clubs identifying 

 themselves as club members with the Society, which circulars shall be 

 furnished to the state commissioners and others with the urgent recom- 

 mendation that all such clubs in the United States and Canada be in- 

 formed as to the work of the Society in promoting fish propagation, pre- 

 vention and control of pollution of waters, and restraint of illadvised and 

 unnecessary drainage of lakes valuable for angling, and be invited to join 

 this Society. 



4. That the annual fee for dues of individuals and libraries be raised 

 from $2.00 to $3.00. 



5. That a special membership campaign committee be formed charged 

 with the duty of inaugurating and conducting continuously throughout 

 the year a vigorous and persistent campaign for new members in all 

 classes. 



Mr. Avery : With reference to that part of the committee's re- 

 port urging club memberships, it was the idea that each commissioner 

 especially should interest himself in getting the clubs of his state to 

 join. The annual fee is only $5.00 for such memberships, and con- 

 sidering what the Society is doing for the benefit of sportsmen and 

 anglers, all such clubs in the United States and Canada should be 

 ready and willing to join, if it is properly brought to their at- 

 tention. 



The report of the committee was adopted. 



In accordance with the action recommended in the report of the 

 committee, Mr. Avery moved the necessary changes in Article II 

 of the Constitution, fixing the annual dues of active members and 

 libraries at $3.00 instead of $2.00. The amendment was adopted.
