It was evident in the course of the meeting that there was considerable misunderstanding aur• rent among the patrons as to the objeots and benefits of the eoheme, and the dele- gates present were requested by the President to further discuss the mutter among the. direotoes and patrons, and that if a sufficient number decided in favor of the establishment of the syndi- cate on the proposed basis of cost, the Association would proceed with the work in the owning season.
