38 Thirty-ninih Annual Meeting 



not refer to the publication of tlie transactions afterwards. 

 1 would like to see my suggestion incorporated and have it 

 fully understood, and I make it as a motion. 



President : It is moved that $20 be authorized to be ex- 

 pended as postage, and that the anniversary committee also 

 be authorized to edit the papers and see that they are properly 

 printed. 



Mr. Meeiian : Before that is put — it meets my fullest 

 approval — it seems to me there is another question that 

 might arise to make it advisable to add another phrase. This 

 committee is to make all arrangements, and is authorized to 

 make arrangements for the program for this meeting. Now, 

 such a program should be published beforehand and sent to 

 the various members of the Society. That would necessarily 

 entail an expense, not a large expense to be sure, but it seems 

 to me that perhaps a little more might be added so as to 

 cover the authorized expenditure for the printed program 

 for this meeting. You now^ cover postage and correspond- 

 ence. The committee wdll be authorized to prepare a pro- 

 gram, but it is not authorized to print that program. 



Mr. Titcomb: Your idea is that this committee should 

 l)repare that program instead of the secretary? 



Mr. Meehan : Naturally, it says so. 



Mr. Titcomb : Then I should think that instead of limit- 

 ing it to $20 they be authorized to make the necessary ex- 

 penditure for postage, preparation and printing of program. 

 etc. 



President : Do you think that this is not sufficient author- 

 ity for the committee "to determine the program, special 

 exercises and solicit funds." What are these funds for 

 except for the necessary purposes to which you refer? 



Mr. S. F. Fullerton : This $20 doesn't look good to me 

 — limiting the committee to $20. Tf the committee is going 

 to do the secretary's work and send out circulars and pro- 

 grams for the meeting, it ought not to be limited to $20. 



Mr. Titcomb: I accept that amendment.
