Wednesday's Flashes. 



The lii'st tlickerings of the electric 

 distuibam-e aiipe.ared on the lloor of the 

 con\('ntion Wednesday afternoon, June 

 2u. Charles 8i/.emore presented his re- 

 ]iort as trallic manager, calling atten- 

 tion to on(> increase in express rates 

 which IukI been w.arded (iff by the 

 association's ullicers and to another, of 

 approximately thirty-three and one-third 



per cent, which woidd probably bo an- 

 nounced in July or August. He advised 

 a limitation of size of bale or box and 

 this subject was referred to a commit- 

 tee, composed of George C. Roeding, 

 chairman; James M. Pitkin and W. H. 

 Wyman, to be considered together with 

 the president's adtlrcss and other 

 pa])ers. JMr. Sizemore 's figures on the 

 association income were:

The total exitenditures during the 

 year were .$21,017.(11, leaving a balance 

 on hand of ,$7,40:5. 92, to which, he said, 

 Mr. Watson had added $1,G00 in dues 

 (hiring the convent it)n. He itemized 

 the expenditures as follows:

The mention of the dues aroused the 

 (piestion as to the term they covered 

 and the interpretation of the executive 

 committee, issued jtrior to the couven 

 tion, that the year ended when the new 

 oflicers replaced the old and that there- 

 fore those who had not jtaid the fees 

 due prior to this convention were mem-
