We also recommend the repeal of Rule 3, as it is covered by the report of the Committee on Extending the Time-Limit of the Sessions; also that Resolution No. 42 be rescinded, because its object is better secured by the retention of Resolution No. 36. 2d. As regards those Resolutions which have failed to influence the action of the Institute or of its members, and have been a dead letter, and those others that have served their full purpose and are now no longer necessary to the government or work of this body, we recommend, not that these Resolutions be repealed, but that their annual publication be simply discontinued. They They are Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, and 11. 3d and finally. We recommend that the remaining Resolutions be continued in force and published from year to year as heretofore. They are Nos. 3, 8, 22, 26, 34, 35, 36, and 40. Respectfully submitted, PEMBERTON DUDLEY, A. C. CowPERTHWAITE, These recommendations were adopted as read. Committee.
