342 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



On motion Messrs. Foss and Caven were instructed to ar- 

 range a day's meeting at Damascus, and the President and Sec- 

 retary were instructed to arrange other meetings in the state 

 where the outlook promised well for a good attendance of dairy- 

 men. 



Notice was given by the Secretary of the resignation of 

 A. F. Jansen of Effingham as a Director. The Secretary was 

 instructed to ask Mr. Jansen to place his resignation in writing, 

 and F. G. Austin of Effingham was elected to occupy Mr. 

 Jansen's place on the Board. 



A bill of J. F. Sanmann, Havana, incurred when looking 

 up a location for a one-day dairy meeting, was ordered paid 

 when presented. 



On motion E. Sudendorf of Clinton and Chas. Gilkerson 

 of Marengo were appointed to audit and approve the annual 

 reports of the Treasurer and Secretary. 



A second meeting of Directors held in Springfield during 

 the State Fair received requests from Elgin and Camp Point as 

 places for the next Convention. Directors felt, on account of 

 a promise given the previous year, that Elgin was entitled to 

 the meeting and decided to go there if citizens would appropri- 

 ate $300 toward the expense of the Convention. Directors were 

 requested to arrange for dairy meeting, each in his section of 

 the state. 



The third meeting of Directors was held in Chicago at the 

 National Dairy Show and the decision reached locating the 

 next Convention in Elgin. Mr. Joseph Newman guaranteed 

 that the terms required of Elgin for the Convention would be 

 met. Mr. Newman, E. Sudendorf and the Secretary were ap- 

 pointed a committee on program with power to act. 



GEORGE CAVEN, 



Secretary.
