At 6.30 p. m. the annual meeting was called to order by Hon. Thomas Z. Lee, in the absence of the President-General and Vice-President-General, and, upon being elected President-General _pro tem_, presided throughout the business meeting. Treasurer-General Dooley announced through the Chairman that the funds of the Society were deposited in the Union Trust Company, Providence, R. I., at the time of its suspension, and that a plan for its reorganization had been suggested, but not yet adopted. The funds were therefore not available for our use and he could not tell when they would be. In order that the Society might have its funds subject to its disposal and not be obliged to await a more or less indefinite reorganization of the Union Trust Company, Mr. Dooley had drawn his personal cheque for the total amount of our detained funds and deposited same to the credit of the Society. He asked that we give him an assignment of our money in the Union Trust Company in order that he instead of us might do the waiting and take the chances of being repaid. Mr. Dooley’s generous offer was most cordially accepted, and a committee appointed by the Chairman for that purpose immediately executed the assignment of our detained funds as requested. Upon motion of Mr. Dennis H. Tierney, a vote of thanks was extended Treasurer-General Dooley for the transaction above mentioned, and remarks of a most complimentary nature were made by several previous to the adoption of the vote. The annual report of the Secretary-General was read and it was ordered that the same be received and placed on file. The annual report of the Treasurer-General showing receipts, disbursements and balance on hand was read, and it was ordered that the same be received and placed on file. A number of new members were elected, some of whom were present later at the banquet. The election of officers for the ensuing year was called for, and the following gentlemen, having the unanimous endorsement of the Executive Council, were by ballot duly elected to the following offices: _President-General_, FRANCIS J.
