Mr. Randall: Mr. Wood brought to the attention of the

meeting this morning the recommendation of the Auditors, that:

"In view of the constant widening of the Society's activities

and the increasing volume and value of the properties under

its control, we venture the suggestion that, in our opinion, steps

should be taken to incorporate in the treasurer's books of ac-

count a record of the cost value of all such properties, both real

and personal. We believe that adequate and economical control

over these properties would be facilitated by the information made

available by this plan and that public interest in the Society as

a great educational force would be augmented by the inclusion

of these facts in its published reports.  Should it be decided

to carry out this suggestion, we shall be pleased to render the

officers any assistance in our power."

After some discussion the matter was referred to the

Finance Committee.

The trustees designated as a part of the duties of the Secre-

tary and Curator, the visitation annually of each of the sites

owned by this Society, they to report at each annual meeting of

the Society the results of their visitations, in writing.
