On motion of Mr. Votaw the following Committee was appointed to make
arrangements for another similar conference to be held probably next
autumn, and to draft regulations for the government of the body: Edward
Taenzer, Chairman; Warden Clower, of West Chester; Warden McIlhenny,
of Harrisburg; Warden Obetz, of Lancaster, and Agent McGarry, of
the State Board of Charities. On motion, A. H. Votaw was appointed
Secretary of this Committee.
A vote of thanks to Mrs. Falconer and to Mr. Nibecker was extended
for their generous hospitality and for their many courtesies to the
conference. It seemed that nothing which pertained to the comfort and
pleasure of the visitors had been left undone.
The Conference adjourned with a feeling that this meeting had been
successful and that a permanent organization would be of decided
service to the best interests of the Commonwealth.
After a bountiful lunch, served by the assistants of Superintendent
Nibecker, the members of this memorable Conference dispersed to their
several homes.
