Section 5. The first meeting of the subscribers to the agreement of association shall be called by a notice signed either by that subscriber to the agreement who is designated therein for the purpose, or by a majority of the subscribers. Such notice shall state the time, place and purpose of the meeting. Seven days at least before the day appointed for the meeting, a copy of the notice shall be given to each subscriber, or left at his residence or usual place of business, or deposited in the post office, postage prepaid, and addressed to him at his residence or usual place of business.

The subscribers to the agreement of association shall hold the franchise until the organization has been completed. At the first meeting, or at any adjournment thereof, the incorporators shall organize by the election by ballot of a temporary clerk, by the adoption of by-laws and by the election, in such manner as the by-laws may determine of a president, a clerk of the corporation, a treasurer, a board of not less than five nor more than fifteen directors, and such other officers as the by-laws may prescribe.
