Mr. Smejkal then called the attention of the delegates to the need for increasing the surety of the treasurer for the coming year. It was then resolved to raise the surety from twenty thousand to fifty thousand dollars. The sureties of other officers will remain the same. Many of the delegates recommended that salaries of the officers be raised, especially that of the treasurer, who is forced to spend much of his time every day in the interest 2of the Cemetery. A motion to raise the salary of the new treasurer for this coming year to five hundred dollars was presented by Mr. Zrust. Mr. Kopecky recommended that the salary of the chairman and members of the board of directors also be raised one hundred dollars each. Both motions were carried by a two-thirds majority. Salaries of other officers were also raised as follows: Vice-chairman, $50 a year; secretary, $200 a year. The board of directors recommended that the salary of the Cemetery superintendent be raised to $2,400 a year; the salary of the financial secretary to $150 a month; the salary of the conservatory superintendent to $150 a month. All these recommendations were approved.

After that the nominations began. The following delegates were elected: Mr. Jan Pecha, chairman; Mr. Ringl, vice-chairman; Mr. Victor H. Filip, secretary; Mr. Jurka, treasurer. The following delegates were elected to the board of directors: Messrs. Siman, David, and Lang for a two-year term, and Mr. Frank Boucek, for a one-year term.
