The suggestions of the report relating to discrimination in acceptance 

 of material and the ownership of negatives led to some debate, with 

 opinions both for and against the latter proposition. No action was 

 taken upon the suggestions, but the report as a whole was adopted, and 

 the annual appropriation of $15 was continued for 1897. 



Mr Arnold Hague submitted a written report of the Auditing Com- 

 mittee, stating that an examination of the Treasurer's accounts for the 

 past fiscal year showed them to be correct and as stated in the printed 

 report of the Treasurer. The report of the committee was adopted.
