THE PENNSYLVANIA PRISON SOCIETY
The 124th Annual Meeting of “THE PENNSYLVANIA PRISON SOCIETY” was held
January 27, 1911, at the office of the Society at the S. W. Corner of
Fifth and Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia.
The meeting was called to order by the President, JOSHUA L. BAILY.
The Minutes of the 123d Annual Meeting were read and approved.
Twenty-six members of the Society were present.
Reports were read from the Acting Committee and from the General Agent,
FRED. J. POOLEY, which were approved and directed to be printed in the
forthcoming JOURNAL.
The Treasurer, JOHN WAY, produced a detailed statement of the receipts
and disbursements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1910. (See
page 15.)
The following Amendment to the Constitution was proposed, and directed
to be laid before the next meeting of the Society, _viz._:
“The number of Members of the Acting Committee may be increased to not
exceeding sixty, provided the additional members shall be residents of
Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia.
“These Members may be elected from time to time at any meeting of
the Acting Committee, according to the provisions of the By-Laws for
filling vacancies, but the terms for which they are elected shall
be for the unexpired portion of the current fiscal year only. These
additional Members will be eligible for reëlection at the next Annual
Meeting, and their respective terms of service shall then be assigned
so as to be coördinate with the terms of service of the other Members
of the Committee.”
JOHN J. LYTLE, on behalf of the Nominating Committee, appointed at
the last Annual Meeting, presented in writing the nominations for the
officers of the Society and for the members of the Acting Committee
whose terms expire at this time. The President appointed as Tellers,
JOSEPH C. NOBLIT, A. JACKSON WRIGHT and WILLIAM E. TATUM. The election
having been duly conducted, the Tellers announced that a unanimous vote
of the Society was cast for the ballot as presented by the Nominating
Committee. (See page 3.)
The Nominating Committee proposed that HON. WILLIAM N. ASHMAN be
elected Honorary Counselor. On motion the recommendation of the
Committee was adopted with expression of appreciation of the long and
faithful services of JUDGE ASHMAN for the Society.
