JERSEY BREEDERS.
THE ASSOCIATION IN FUNDS. (Special to the "Guardian.") WHANGAREI, June 11. "However we may be situated individually, I notice that collectively we are disgustingly rich," said Mr. Roland Hill at a meeting of the New Zealand Jersey Cattle Breeders' Association when pointing out that the accumulated fund account showed a total of £23,000 In England, he said, a similar association had found itself in a like position and it had formed a benevolent fund for widows and orphans and unfortunate members of the association. "It is up to tis to do something* like that here," he added, "and the widows, and orphans should get something out of it." He moved that it be a recommendation to the council to form a benevolent fund for widows, orphans and members of the association who had experienced misfortune. The president, Mr C. G. C. Dermer, ruled the motion out of order. Under the, constitution the association could not spend its money as a benevolent institution. Mr Hill: That cock will not crow. What about the money you voted for the earthquake victims? Mr Dermer said that special validating legislation had been passed. Mr Hill: It is about time we altered our rules.
