The President, on taking the chair, said : Ever since the 

 establishment of our meetings in the spring, we, for want of 

 sufficient accommodation of our own, have been indebted to the 

 courtesy of successive mayors of Truro for the use of their com- 

 modious and beautiful council chamber on such occasions. When 

 the members of the Cornwall County Library withdrew from us, 

 however, it became matter for consideration how the rooms thus 

 vacated might be most advantageously appropriated. After 

 careful review, therefore, your Officers and Council concluded that 

 the requisite measures would best be carried out under the super- 

 intendence of your resident officers and some of the most experi- 

 enced members of the Council. The alterations and arrangements 

 now complete seem to accomplish all we can at present desire. I 

 believe, therefore, in occupying this room for the first time, we 

 shall all concur in expressing our warmest approval of all that our 

 sub-committee have accomplished, and in offering them our best 

 thanks for the zealous and efficient manner in which they have 

 executed their trust. 



The Council's Report was read ; and it was resolved unani- 

 mously, that it be received, adopted, and printed. 



The following Resolutions were passed unanimously : — 



That the thanks of the Society be given to the Officers and
