    XXI1L The members of this Association, after arriv¬ ing at the age of sixty, shall be exempted from all assess¬ ments ; but in other particulars shall be governed by the rules and regulations of this Association. XXIY. The Secretary shall pay all expenses of this Association, and once in a year at least, and oftener when any considerable expense has been incurred, he shall assess the amount due to him upon the members of the Association, equally, with the exception stated in the 23d rule. He shall employ, at the expense of the mem¬ bers, a person to collect the assessments ; and if any mem¬ ber refuses or neglects to pay his assessment, his connex¬ ion with the Association shall thereupon cease, and the Secretary shall inform the members of the same by a cir¬ cular note; and the assessment left unpaid shall become a charge against the Association. XXV. The Secretary’s records and accounts shall be subject to examination by the Standing Committee, and by the Association, when they judge proper. XXVI. All resignations of members shall be made in writing to the Secretary, who shall immediately lay them before the Standing Committee, who shall either notify each member, or call a meeting of the Association, as they may think proper. XXVII. No rule or regulation of this Association shall be altered, amended or repealed, nor any additional regu¬ lation adopted at any meeting, unless the proposed altera¬ tion or amendment, has first been referred to a Commit¬ tee, who shall report on the same, at a subsequent meet¬ ing, which shall be held at a time not less than one month from the time of the appointment of the Committee. And no amendment or additional regulation shall be adopted except by a vote of three-fourths of the members present.
