2. With respect to the duties of the President, Vice-Presidents 
and other Officers and Members of Council, and any other matters not 
herein specially provided for, the Council may make any regulations and 
arrangements as they deem proper, and as shall appear to them most 
conducive to the good government and management of the Society, and 
the promotion of its objects. And the Council may hire apartments, and 
appoint persons not being Members of the Council, nor Members or 
Associates of the Institute, to be salaried officers, clerks, or servants, for 
carrying on the necessary business of the Society ; and may allow them 
respectively such salaries, gratuities, and privileges, as to them, the 
Council, may seem proper ; and they may suspend any such officer, clerk 
or servant from his office and duties, whenever there shall seem to them 
occasion ; provided always, that every such appointment or suspension 
shall be reported by the Council to the next ensuing General Meeting of 
the Members and Associates to be then confirmed or otherwise as such 
Meeting may think fit.
