On motion of Mr. Wood, seconded by Mr.
Bareis,
Oscar F. Miller was elected Assistant
Treasurer for the
ensuing year and all other members of
the staff and em-
ployes on the staff were elected to
their respective posi-
tions at the salaries already fixed.
The suggestion made at the morning
session of the
Society by Director Shetrone that the
name of the So-
ciety be changed to Ohio Historical
Society was taken
up and discussed at length. On motion
of Mr. Good-
man the subject was referred to a
committee of one, ap-
pointed by the President, for advice
and future consid-
eration by the Board. The appointment
of standing
committees was considered at length.
The action of the Society in its annual
meeting rela-
tive to the appointment of standing
committees was re-
ferred to by Mr. Goodman. At the
suggestion of the
Chairman, action was deferred until
President Johnson
could be present.
The Trustees decided not to turn the
Fitch Engine
over to the Museum of Science of
Chicago for exhibi-
tion purposes.
On motion of General Orton, seconded by
Mr. Wood,
the Board approved a suggestion by the
Director that
the residue of certain funds available
for that purpose
be expended for a motion-picture film
illustrative of the
exploration of mounds and the life of
the Mound-
builders.
The Board then adjourned to meet at the
call of the
President.
