A motion was made, seconded and

accepted. 
It was moved, seconded and carried 
that the Secretary be instructed to cast 
the ballot of the league for these men 
to serve as committeemen for the com¬ 
ing terms for which they are nominat¬ 
ed. 
The Secretary of the league cast the 
ballot, and the President announced 
the election of these men to serve as 
committeemen for the terms for which 
they were nominated. 
Mr Hamner was then appointed a 
committee to collect memberships in 
the League at the meeting. A total of 
seventy members were enrolled at this 
time. 
A question was asked Mr. Tenny re¬ 
garding the payment of the assessments 
by members of the Florida Citrus Ex¬ 
change, and he explained that all assess¬ 
ments from members of the Exchange 
were paid through the Tampa office 
of the Exchange, and that in the few 
cases where members had paid direct 
to the League, their checks had been 
returned with a notice that their assess¬ 
ments had already been paid. 
Mr. Tenny was called upon to out¬ 
line the financial needs of the League, 
and he stated that $10,000 would be 
needed for the first year’s work. In 
his opinion, the present assessments 
would yield approximately $8,000 this 
first season. Finally a motion was 
made and seconded that the assess¬ 
ments for the coming year remain as 
at the present, which is one-sixth of a 
cent per box on citrus fruits and pine¬ 
apples, and fifty cents a car on vege¬ 
tables. This motion was carried. 
Mr. D. C. Gillett announced that in 
behalf of the Florida Nurserymen’s 
Association, he desired to contribute 
$100.00 to the work of the League. A 
motion was made, seconded and car¬ 
ried that the meeting adjourn.
