I requested that the printer send up two copies, whether they are bound or not, so they may be in to show you later during the meeting.
I believe that's about all I will say at this time, Mr. President.
DR. MacDANIELS: This matter of the report not being here I know is the cause of considerable dissatisfaction, and it arises out of our attempt to get the report printed cheaply. We have had the same trouble before. The Corse Press did this at one time and did it cheaply, because they would work it in with the other business. The last time they did it, and other business was so heavy that it was delayed.
The printers who do it at Nashville also did the Legislative printing and other things cut in, so that it was not carried on. Now, I think that we have some ideas in mind for printers for the next issue, so that if we get the papers in on time, the report will be coming out fairly promptly.
Is the Treasurer ready with his report? Mr. Sterling Smith.

DR. MacDANIELS: Thank you, Mr. Smith. I think it is usual to accept the report and then refer it, I believe, to an auditing committee.
DR. MacDANIELS: It is moved that the report be accepted and turned over to the auditing committee.
DR. MacDANIELS: Seconded. Any remarks? (No response.)
