ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 249 



Had the contribution from Fi eeport been as large as expected, the de- 

 ficit would have been about $100 less. 



After approving the reports, the directors appointed F. A. Carr and 

 G. H. Gurler a committee to arrange a plan whereby, in the future, all the 

 money received by the secretary would go to the treasurer before being 

 paid out, instead of being paid out as needed to meet the expenses of an

 the next meeting of the board. 



Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 6-7-8, 1903, were the days 

 decided upon for the next annual convention of the association. 



The place of meeting was left in the hands of a committee consisting 

 of F. A. Carr, Irvin Nowlan and the secretary. This committee has since
