HARRISON LUDINGTON, Treasurer. 
Madison, Dec. 6,1871. 
The secretary moved that a committee of three life mem¬ 
bers, not including any members of the executive board, be 
appointed to examine the report of the treasurer, and report 
thereon as early as practicable. 
The motion was carried, and the president appointed Messrs. 
S. D. Hastings, David Atwood and A. H. Maia to perform the 
duties of said committee. 
Mr. Field moved an adjournment until 7 1-2 o’clock p. m., 
at which time he hoped the committee would be prepared to re¬ 
port. 
The secretary asked the temporary withdrawal of the motion 
that he might make a statement in regard to an amendment to 
the constitution, proposed by Mr. Saterlee Clark, vice presi¬ 
dent, at the annual meeting in 1870, and now on file in the sec¬ 
retary’s office.
