Mr. Skinner considers it undesirable to work on so 

 small a margin, and thinks the subscription per delegate 

 might be raised from $100 to $112.50 or $125. 



Mr. Lake points out that some of the D. P. A's had 

 already drawn np their own estimates on a $100 per dele- 

 gate basis. 



General discussion on the inclusion of an item of $1,000 

 for the Agricultural Bulletin then ensues. 



Mr. Baker proposes that the Bulletin be subsidized as 

 hitherto, but that the Constituent Associations be circu-

This is seconded by Mr. Lake. 



Mr. Skinner proposes as an amendment that the Es- 

 timates be adopted, as submitted to them. 



This is seconded by Mr. Fox and carried.

XII. Alteration of Rules. Mr. Harrison reads the 

 following report of the Sub-Committee: 



REPORT OF SUB-COMMITTEE. 



TO CONSIDER ALTERATION OF P. A. M. RULES. 

 Your Committee are of opinion that to wake the Asso- 

 ciation thoroughly representative, more representation is 

 desirable. 



To the Association as at present constituted there are 

 many serious objections, the chief one being that a delegate 

 may at any time he called upon to advance certain views on 

 account of his district, with which he mag be entirely at 

 variance and therefore he is unable to do justice to tJ/e in-
