18 THE SOUTHERN CHAPTER, A.I.A.

architects regarding the position that ''The Southern Archi-
tect" sustains to this Chapter, the members were earnestly
requested to contribute to its columns and illustrations.

A discussion by several of the members brought out the
fact that the By-Laws do not state specificaliy what should be

On motion of Mr. D. A. Helmich the Conventmn adjourned
till ten o'clock to-morrow morning.
