REPORT OF SECRETARY.

Sacramento, Cal., Nov. 13, 1911.

To the Officers and Members of the

California Bar Association:

Your Secretary reports for the year ending November 13, 1911, as follows:

No meetings of this Association have been held during the past year, either of the Association or Legislative Council. The Executive Committee held one meeting in San Francisco June 9. 1911. Other committees have held meetings at various times and places.

The officers and appointed committees of this Association are as follows:

(See pages 3 and 6 of report of proceedings.) Membership.

There are now on our membership roll 200 names, a list of which is attached to this report, and three Bar Associations which have paid their per capita tax as constituent members. The Bar Association of San Francisco, the Los Angeles Bar Association and the Oakland Bar Association.

These last three named Associations and also the Placer County Bar Association, Fresno County Bar Association and Sacramento Bar Association and the San Diego Bar Association have sent delegates to this annual meeting, and their names are appended to this report. (See list at end of minutes of proceedings.) Other Bar Associations may have sent delegates, but their names have not yet been reported to your Secretary.

Five hundred copies of the proceedings of our last annual meeting, consisting of 350 pages, were printed and distributed to our members and to other State Bar Associations, besides a large number were distributed to members of our State Legislature upon the request of our Legislative Committee.

One thousand copies of all reports of committees received in time for this meeting have been printed and distributed throughout the State to our members and copies can now be had from your Secretary.

Notices of this meeting have been sent to each member, to

every Superior Court Judge and District Attorney in this State, also addressed to the "Bar Association" of every county in the State, whether such Bar Association was known to exist or not, in the hope that the wish may be father to the thought.

Fiscal.

The report of the Treasurer and Auditing Committee will cover all matter relating to the finances of this Association which at present has no paid officers or employees.

Your Secretary is informed that certain members are in arrears for dues, but under our present by-laws has no authority for striking their names from the membership roll.

During the past year death has claimed three of our members, viz.: Walter J. Trask of Los Angeles, Gilbert D. Munson of Los Angeles and Alexander G. Eells of San Francisco. Respectfully submitted,

T. W. ROBINSON, Secretary.
