Fifty names were added to the membership roll since the Annual Meeting last August. The deaths of fourteen have either been reported or have come to the knowledge of the Treasurer. The names of these have been sent to the Committee on Legal Biographies, Mr. Baer, of Cincinnati, Chairman. The resignation of thirty-seven members have been received during the year. At the last annual meeting held in Cleveland a resolution was adopted remitting the dues of those members who were in the Military or Naval Service of the United States. The Treasurer endeavored to find the names of those coming within the scope of this resolution. The result was that sixty-eight members were in the Military Service. The Treasurer further states that there are probably more than this, but he has been unable to learn their names, but as they come to hand will embody them in the Annual Reports from time to time. The total number on the rolls of the Association at this time is 1,089. Earnest efforts have been made to collect all back dues, but as many were in the Military Service it was thought not safe to drop names from the membership for non-payment of dues. The names of all have therefore been retained and dues for preceding years have been added to the 1919 statement, the result of which cannot now be reported, for the reason that there has not been enough time to respond. Respectfully submitted, J. F. CARLISLE, Treasurer. ADDITIONAL DONATIONS FROM MEMBERS FOR ENTERTAINMENT OF AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION, RECEIVED TOO LATE TO CEDAR POINT, OHIO, July 8, 1919.
