lity of the City of
Rochester at the hands of its representative Park Commissioner
Wilbur Wright, Dr. Roy B. Anthony, Mr. Harkness, and their helpers
who have done so much to make the visit of this organization not
only welcome but extremely enjoyable and informative. We shall
always remember Rochester's exceptional hospitality and its
generously free provision of so beautiful a meeting place. This is
sincerely appreciated."

"_Be it Resolved_: That this Association extends to Mr. George
Salzer, Mr. Victor Brook its thanks for their work which has

also to many others due our thanks, to Dr. McKay for organizing a

Mrs. Gibbs and finally to our outstandingly efficient officers who
have so skillfully organized our work and the Association's
expansion."

(A vote was taken on the amendment, and was passed.)

MR. MACHOVINA: Is that a proposal to amend the by-laws of this
organization? It would, if it's a self-perpetuating committee.

MR. DAVIDSON: May I suggest you withdraw the word "self-perpetuating."
