To overcome all such possible anomalies we are of opin- 
ion that a radical change in the cogitation of the Asso- 
ciation is desirable, which would dWlit of business being 
conducted by a Committee, white at the same time all mem- 
bers of any affiliated Associations should hare full rights of 
attendance and voting powers at all General Meetings. 
To effect this object the following alterations to rules 
would be necessary: 
(1) .Rule 4 would read: “The Association shall con- 
sist of a Chairman and Secretary and all Members 
of affiliated Associations. 
(A ew 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 tne 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.
