Mr. Lovatt: A request. The Secretary: It will be difficult for the Committee of Arrangements to carry out the suggestion. If it is for the benefit of the Association, the Secretary will assume that responsibility, but I do not believe it should be left to the Committee of Arrangements. Mr. Lovatt: I suppose a part of your onerous duties was to see just what I suggested was carried out. I assumed you would look after it. I would add to the motion that they give the names of the authors and the subjects to the Secretary, who shall request the persons selected to prepare their papers and furnish them to the Secretary, and that he shall see that copies are mailed as suggested. The President: Will you add to your motion the words, "so far as practicable?" Mr. Lovatt: Yes. The Secretary: I think the whole matter should be left to the Executive Committee; it involves some considerable expense. It is possible to print the papers in advance of the meeting, I grant, and I am not sure but it might be well, but it involves some considerable expense in sending those papers out, and I do not think the whole matter should be left to the Committee on Arrangements or the Secretary, but should be referred wholly to the Executive Committee. Mr. Lovatt: I took your suggestion that you would assume the responsibility. J. N. Fiero, of Albany: Let me make a suggestion bearing upon this, and that is, that the meeting of the committee does not take place until early in December, about the first, when the papers are selected, and there would be a little difficulty in making an iron-clad arrangement to have the persons who write papers to get in the papers in time to be printed. Mr. Lovatt: Do the best you can. The President: I think the motion, as it stands now, is a suggestion to the Secretary and the Executive Committee and the Committee of Arrangements. The motion was seconded and carried. The President: Is there any other business before the Association? If not, a motion to adjourn until half-past seven this evening, when we will meet at the Ten Eyck Hotel, will be in order. J. Newton Fiero, of Albany: I move that we adjourn to that time and place. The motion was seconded and carried. MEMBERS ELECTED BY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DURING THE YEAR 1899-1900. Barrett, C. E.. Bates, William M. Clarke, R. Floyd.. Daley, William B.. Dardess, John C...
