Executive Committee Meetiog. 



Secretary W. N. Eudd supplies an of- 

 ficial report of the meeting of the execu- 

 tive board, at Cincinnati, March 13 to 

 16, covering routine work, from which 

 the following points not touched upon in 

 the Keview 's report last week are noted : 



A protest against the charges for space 

 at the trade exhibition at Niagara Falls 

 was received and after careful considera- 

 tion it was decided that for the next ex- 

 hibition the charges for space would be 

 largely reduced, and in consideration of 

 that reduction the exhibitors would be 

 required to furnish their own tables and 

 cloth covering for them. 



A recommendation from the society for 

 the election of an honorary member was 

 considered and it was decided that as 

 there was no specific provision for the 

 election of an honorary member in the 

 by-laws, it Avas inexpedient to authorize 

 such action. 



It being considered that the presiden- 

 tial addresses in the past have not been 

 properly acted upon and that many im- 

 portant recommendations have failed of 

 attention, the president was requested to 

 appoint a committee in advance of the 

 convention and to submit to the members 

 of this committee copies of his address, 

 and that the committee be instructed to 

 make a special report on the address and 

 its recommendations and some time to be 

 specifically set aside in the program for a 

 general discussion of the address and its 

 report. 



A proposed amendment increasing the 

 fee for life membership from $25 to $50 

 was received and ordered printed in the 

 program for action at the next conven- 

 tion. 



A request from the Cincinnati Flo- 

 rists' Club that they be allowed to issue 

 tickets and collect admission from the 

 general public on Thursday in place of 

 receiving any portion of the proceeds of 

 the trade exhibition otherwise, was 

 granted. 



It was decided that all interest on the 

 society's funds, both general and perma- 

 nent, collected during the year 1908 

 should be transfrt'red to the permanent 

 fund. 



The treasurer's report showed that the 

 permanent fund now amounted to over 

 $6,000 and it was deemed that steps look- 

 ing to the permanent investment of the 

 same should be taken, and a committee 

 consisting of Treasurer Beatty and 

 Messrs. Vesey and Dailledouze was ap- 

 » pointed to make such investment. 



A resolution was adopted that no goods 

 should be sold at retail at the trade ex- 

 hibition. It was also decided that an 

 advisory committee of three should be
