To overcome all .such possible anomalies me are of opin- 

 ion that a radical change in the constitution of the Asso- 

 ciation is desirable, which would admit of business being 

 conducted by a Committee, while at the same time cdl mem- 

 bers of any affiliated Associations should have full rights of 

 attendance and voting powers at all General Meetings. 



To effect this object the following alterations to rules 

 would be necessary : 



(I). Rule 4 would read: "The Association shall con- 

 sist of a Chairman and Secretary and all Members 

 of affiliated Associations. 



(New Rule). The Committe shall consist of the 

 Chairman and Secretary of the P. A. M. and the 

 Chairman and Secretary and 1 in 10 of all mem- 

 bers of constituent Associations. 

 Further alteration to sundry rules in substituting 

 the word "Committee" for "Association" would 

 be necessary. Rule 13 would also require to be 

 altered to meet the changed conditions. 

 As an alternative to this we would suggest: 



(1) That the following sub-sections be added to rule 4: 

 that any Member of an affiliated Association bring- 

 ing forward and carrying a resolution in a district 

 association should have the right to conduct the 

 same through all meetings of the P. A. M. 



(2) That all Members of affiliated Associations shall 

 have the right to attend and vote at the Annual 

 General Meeting in April, when office bearers for 

 the year are elected.
