FLORIDA STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
Secretary Painter was authorized to 
prepare special features for the next meet¬ 
ing. The number of reports authorized 
to be printed was one thousand, and Mr. 
Painter was authorized to pf int them, pay 
for the same to be based on last year's 
price per^page, number of pages not to ex¬ 
ceed those in 1903 report. 
President Taber was instructed to take 
up the Kerr resolution with the respective 
railroads, toward procuring transporta¬ 
tion for officers connected with the Ex¬ 
periment Station and Government in their 
work of Horticulture research. 
President Taber took up this matter 
with the railroads of the State and was not 
successful in getting the* desired annual 
transportation. 
The Florida East Coast Railway had 
furnished Prof. P. H. Rolfs annual trans¬ 
portation for these purposes. The L. & 
N. Railway replied that they were pro¬ 
hibited from issuing this transportation; 
the G. S. & F., the A. C. L., and the S. 
A. L. Ry., offered to issue a limited num¬ 
ber of trip passes on the application of the 
President of the Society some days in 
advance of its issuance. These latter con¬ 
ditions largely bar the usefulness of fur¬ 
ther pursuing this subject. 
Meeting adjourned.

Mr. Painter reported settlement with 
Mr. Powers' heirs as follows: 
I wish to report that the committee ap¬ 
pointed to take up this matter made out a 
statement as near as it could from the data 
obtained, which showed a balance of 
something over $80 due the Society, after 
allowing Mr. Powers' expenses for post¬ 
age, etc. This account was sent to Dr. 
Powers at Ocala and a short time ago 
received $80.00 from him, which I 
receipted him for in full. The records 
which I had were all destroyed in the 
fire. The $80 check was turned over to 
our Treasurer, which closes up this mat¬ 
ter. 
Lyman Phelps, per J. H. Taber. 
E. S. Hubbard, 
C. T. McCarty,

Moved by Mr. Taber, seconded by Mr. 
McCarty that Mr. Hubbard as chairman 
of the committee be instructed to audit the 
secretary's and treasurer's reports upon 
finding them correct. 
Carried.
