An Act to amend The Societies Act HON. MR. HOOKE Printed by L. S. WALL, Printer to the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, Edmonton, Alberta, 1958

Explanatory Note 2. Clause (

b) of

section 10 provides for the publication of the certificate of incorporation and a ~tatement of the C?bjects in two issues of The Alberta Gazette. It IS proposed by thIS amendment to make publication in one issue sufficient.

Section 14 requires extraordinary resolutions to be filed in duplicate with the Registrar. This provision is a repetition of the provisions of

section 30 and is therefore removed. 4. With the repeal of sections 22 and 23 (see clause 5) an unnecessary reference is removed from the heading. 5. Sections 22 and 23 read as follows: "22.

(1) When under the rules of a society, money of the society becomes payable to or for the use or benefit of a member thereof, the money is free from all claims by creditors of tha.t member. "(2) ,,'hen on the death of a member of a society an amount of money becomes payable under the rules of the society, the money "(

a) shall be paid by the treasurer or other officer of the society to the persons entitled under the rules of the society, or shall be applied by the society as may be provided by the rules, and "(

b) is, to the extent of two thousand dollars. free from all claims by a personal representatiye or creditor of the deceased. "23.

(1) Where an amount of money "(

a) is paid under

section 22 in good faith to a person who appears to the treasurer or other officer to be entitled to receive it, or "(

b) is applied in good faith for the purposes provided by the rules, no action shall be brought against the society or the treasurer or other officer in rcspect of tha t money. "

(2) Where it appears that the money has been paid under

section 2:! to the wrong person, the person entitled to the money may recover the amount with interest from the person wbo has wrongfully re ceived it.". Associations with objects in the nature of insurance cannot be incorporated under this statute and these sections are therefore unnecessary.

Section 29 presently reads: "29. A society "(

a) shall file with the annual statement referred to in

section 28 a list of its directors, with their addresses and occupationa, and "(

b) shall, upon request of the Registrar at any time, furnish him with particulars of its directors." The Registrar usually deals with the secretary of a society who is not always a director. 7. A new

section is added to remove any doubt as to whether or not a society can be restored to good standing.
