Wednesday in June, 1901, and annually thereafter, at the hour of 10 

 a. m. of said day, at some hall or other place of meeting to be designated 

 by a resolution of the Board of Directors and stated in the notice calling 

 the meeting, and shall be called by a notice printed in one or more 

 newspapers printed and published in the City of San Jose, as the Board 

 of Directors may direct, for at least ten (10) days next preceding the 

 day of meeting, or by a notice in writing by the President mailed to 

 each member personally, by inclosing the same in a secure envelope, 

 postage thereon prepaid, and addressed to the last known residence of 

 each member, and deposited in the postoffice at San Jose, at least ten 

 (10) days next preceding the day of meeting. Special meetings of the 

 members may be called in like manner, after ten (10) days' notice 

 thereof given in either of the modes aforesaid. No meeting of the mem- 

 bers shall be competent to transact business unless a majority of the 

 entire membership is represented either in person or by ballot, except 

 to adjourn from day to day, or until such time as may be deemed 

 proper. At such annual meeting of the members Directors for the 

 ensuing year shall be elected by ballot, as hereinbefore provided, to 

 serve for one year, and until their successors are elected. If, however, 

 for want of a quorum or other cause, a members' meeting shall not be 

 held on the day above named, or should the members fail to complete 

 their election, or such other business as may be presented for their con- 

 sideration, those present may adjourn from day to day until the same 

 shall be accomplished. At every election held in pursuance of the by- 

 laws, each member shall be entitled to cast but one (1) vote, and such 

 voting shall not be in any manner cumulative. 



Each member may vote in person or by ballot forwarded by mail, 

 and in voting by mail he must inclose his ballot in an envelope duly 

 sealed, which envelope shall be inclosed in another envelope addressed 

 to the Secretary, at San Jose, with a memorandum stating that such 

 inclosed envelope contains the ballot of the party so voting. The 

 Secretary shall thereupon deposit such ballot in the box sealed, and 

 enter in the poll list the name of the voter, and such ballot shall be 

 opened and counted as other ballots. 



Regular meetings of the Board of Directors of this Association shall 

 be held in the City of San Jose quarterly, on the first Wednesday of 

 June, September, December, and March of each year, at the hour of 10 

 a. m. of said day, and the Directors may also establish from time to 

 time, as may be desired, other days and times for special meetings of 

 the Directors as the necessities of the Association may require; and 

 when entered upon the minutes of said Association shall be considered 

 the regular days for the meetings of the Directors of this Association to 

 the same purpose and extent as if herein specifically stated. The days 

 of the meeting may be changed from time to time by like resolution
