"1. Participation in the special railway accommodations.
"2. Provision for rooms and meals at reduced rates.
"3. Provision of rooms and time for meetings.
"4. Participation in the activities of the meeting.
"5. Printing programs, announcements in the Bulletin, and assignment of 15 pages in the Proceedings.
"The cost of preparing for and holding a convention is about $500.00, that of the Bulletin and Proceedings, including editing and distributing, about $1,500.00. Provision of hotel rooms and travel facilities is not a matter of money, but frequently involves disappointment to individual members who apply too late.
"As stated already, the committee have not agreed on any amount or method. They have considered a flat amount of $15.00 to $25.00, one dependent on the number of members in the society, who are not members of the Association, and one dependent on the number of such members who attend.
"Personally, I think the logical method would be a combination of the first and third, and suggest that there be an initial amount of $10.00 or $15.00 and an additional charge of 50 cents or 25 cents for each member attending who is not a member of the Association. Of course, this additional charge will not be asked for official delegates of libraries who are members.
"Kindly let me have an expression of your opinion on this subject at your earliest convenience and oblige.
"Yours truly,
