Sierra Club Bulletin. 



SECRETARY'S REPORT. 



From May 9, 1903, to May 7, 1904. 



At the annual election in April the Directors named 

 on the preceding page were elected to the Board to serve 

 for the year 1904- 1905. The officers there named were 

 elected at the first meeting of the new Board. 



There were one hundred and ninety-nine new mem- 

 bers added to the list during the year, while ninety-eight 

 names were dropped from the list by reason of death, 

 resignation, or non-payment of dues, making a net in- 

 crease of one hundred and one members for the year. 

 The total membership now numbers seven hundred and 

 sixty-four. 



There were certain unusual expenditures during the 

 past year, such as the outlay of one hundred and fifty 

 dollars in the improvement of the Tehipite Trails the 

 payment of one hundred dollars necessary to complete 

 the Le Conte Memorial Fund, the purchase of Professor 

 Lawson's Geological Bulletin on the Kern Canon for 

 each member of the Club (which was kindly furnished 

 at actual cost of paper and press work), also the addi- 

 tional outlay connected with the exchange of publications 

 with the Appalachian Mountain Club, and the increased 

 expense of rent of the club-room in the Mills Building, 

 and the extra cost of the two issues of the Bulletin 

 which appeared during the year, and which were both 

 of larger size than usual. In spite of all this additional 

 outlay the finances of the Club are in as good condition
