Pacific Press Annual Meeting

At the recent annual meeting of the Pacific Press Publishing Association, the by-laws were so amended as to increase the number of directors to thirteen, instead of seven as heretofore. The present board of directors consists of the following persons: H. W. Cottrell, president; C. H. Jones, vice-president and general manager; H. G. Childs, secretary and treasurer; M. C. Wilcox, H. H. Hall, A. O. Tait, B. R. Nordyke, W. B. White, W. T. Knox, E. E. Andross, S. N. Haskell, R. A. Underwood, and E. T. Russell. In his report to the constituency, the manager says: “During the past year the interest-bearing debt has been reduced nearly ten thousand dollars, and open accounts some two thousand dollars, making a total reduction in our indebtedness during the past year of over twelve thousand dollars.” In harmony with the action taken at a previous meeting the association has paid a tithe of the net gain this year to the union conferences in which the office and its branches are located. Owing partly to large reductions made in the inventories, the reported net gain of the association for 1908 was very much less than the amount reported for 1907, although the manager thinks the actual earnings were probably about the same. No commercial work has been done in the office since it was rebuilt.
