eetings of the overseers, the select committee of the
camp committee should consist of from three to four gentlemen
with deciding votes. The suggestion was accepted. Thereupon the
Baron informed the meeting that Messrs. Butcher, Klingender, and
Stern had been proposed. In reply to this, Mr. Delmer, chairman
of the camp committee, said that from among the eight men whose
names had been submitted, three or four should from time to time
be chosen as delegates according to their special knowledge and
the business to be transacted. After a short discussion it was
agreed, upon the proposal of Mr. Powell, that three or four
gentlemen should, as delegates from the camp committee, take
part in a general meeting of overseers to be held once a
fortnight. At these meetings a strict account of the work of the
overseers during the interval should be rendered. On the
proposal of the chairman, Mr. Delmer, it was further agreed that
delegates of the camp committee should have the right at all

incidents affecting the interests of the camp. A motion of the
chairman, which was also approved by the Baron, was to the
effect that, in order to spare the overseers' committee time and
trouble, any incidents occurring in the camp should be
thoroughly sifted and investigated by the camp committee, and
then reported to the administration as soon as possible by a
single competent deputy through the overseers.

The presiding overseer welcomed a further motion by the
chairman, Mr. Delmer, which was as follows: In the interests of
the necessary reciprocity, a delegate of the overseers should
attend the meetings of the camp committee.

Mr. Klingender drew attention to the two points contained in the
camp committee's letter to Baron von Taube. The Baron said he

camp committee had been formed with a view to beneficial
co-operation with the overseers, and for the advancement of the
existing organisation, and that it intended loyally to carry out
this principle, of which words the Baron graciously took note.
The chairman (Mr. Delmer) then expressed his hearty thanks in
the name of the assembled members of the camp committee to the
Baron for h
