Before reading my report, I wish to 
read (and I also wish to have printed in 
our minutes) the report of Mr. Aubrey 
Frink, who acted as Assistant Secretary 
last year and whose report was inadver¬ 
tently omitted from last year’s Report, 
which is as follows: 
Mr. President^ Ladies and Gentlemen: 
As I had been appointed assistant secre¬ 
tary to serve during the last meeting of 
our society, at Miami, in May, 1903, I of¬ 
fered to assist Mr. Powers with the work 
in connection with the present meeting 
when he became ill a short time prior to 
his death. This I did by getting out a 
circular to members for last year. This 
circular was dated March 30th. On April 
2nd, Mr. Powers died and I was then ap¬ 
pointed by President Taber as secretary to 
serve until the present meeting. On April 
14th, I sent out another circular to mem¬ 
bers for last year and also to a number of 
other parties. President Taber had also ap¬ 
pointed Mr. E. O. Painter, of Jackson¬ 
ville, assistant secretary. This last cir¬ 
cular was signed by both myself and Mr. 
Painter. My account stands as follows:
