The Chairman read the following telegram from Mr. A. H. Barret, acknowledging his election as President: LOUISVILLE, KY., May 22, 1902. Thos. D.

The reading of the telegram was followed by a round of cheering, after which the Association passed an especial vote of thanks to Mr. Bankson Taylor, of the New Orleans Lighting Company, for his sustained and successful efforts to entertain the Association and its guests. An outburst of cheering also marked the passage of this resolution. A motion to declare the convention adjourned was then adopted. |
