REPORT OF AUDITING COMMITTEE. 



Your committee to which was referred the Treasurer's report begs to 

 state that it has made a thorough examination of the books and finds them 

 correct in every respect. 



The report was duly adopted. 



A letter from Mr. M. G. Sellers, Philadelphia, Pa., was read, 

 as follows : 



I regret being unable to attend the S2nd Annual meeting of the 

 Society or present a more satisfactory report in the matter of enlisting 

 the good offices of the American Bar Association in preparing a model 

 statute on the subject of stream pollution, which might serve as a uniform 

 basis of action by the various states pending Federal supervision or regu-

 waterways, etc. 



I transmitted this request to the Association through a prominent 

 Philadelphia member who has been ill for some time, and his office was 

 unable to give me any definite information at this time as to its progress 

 or whether it was a part of any report presented at the annual meeting 

 of the American Bar Association held in San Francisco, Cal., August 9-12, 

 1922. I can, therefore, at this writing only report progress with assur- 

 ance of following up, of which the Society will be duly advised. 



Crystallizing public sentiment in support of corrective legislation upon 

 this general subject has received wonderful impetus in the Atlantic Sea- 

 board States in the formation at Atlantic City, August 9, 1922, of the Na- 

 tional Coast Anti-Pollution League with Mr. Gifford Pinchot, the Re- 

 publican nominee for Governor of Pennsylvania, as President, and while 

 this primary efiFort is aimed at Congressional action in abolishing the oil 

 nuisance, it will have a salutary effect upon the inland water problem. 



A paper entitled, "Octomitus Salmonis, a New Species of 

 Intestinal Parasite in Trout," was presented by Dr. Emmeline 

 Moore. Discussion followed. 



REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TIME AND PEACE OF MEETING.
