The board noted the fact that the

recognizing the value of the education

therein, still urged an advertising cam

all members were requested to promote

gested.
The president reported that all obli
gations incidental to the legislative
campaign had not heen taken care of
and reported that the League of Ore

resented our Association, had engaged
the services of Mr. Ralph R. Nelson,
actuary for the California State Retire
ment System and for the San Francisco
Municipal Retirement System, and Mr.

analysis was duly received and no doubt
strengthened the case with the legisla
ture and materially advanced the cause
of the legislation.
