There were paper and pens at the other end of the table; and Fred Harper, who seemed to have a very good idea of "the manner in which the public business is transacted," commenced writing votes.

"Second the motion," added Tom Greene. The motion was put and carried. "The chair appoints Frederic Harper, Thomas Greene, and Mark Leman." The votes were collected and reported.
