REPORT OF RECORDING SECRETARY 17 
At the conclusion of the lecture a vote of thanks, 
moved by Mr. W. A. Robinson, and seconded by Mr. H. B. 
Witton, was tendered the speaker. 
Mr. Robinson asked the Professor if he could account 
for the dying off of the poplar trees on Poplar Avenue. 
- The Professor’s reply was that he would have to diagnose 
the case in order to give a proper answer to the query, but 
lack of water was a very likely reason. 
The applications for membership received at the last 
meeting were regularly voted upon and accepted. 
The meeting was then adjourned until December 18th.
