The closing report to tho board which was adopted without discussion waa from tho subcommittee set up to deal with tho matter. It read: "Your committed has lo report that, in accordanco with the decision of tho board, it submitted an oiler to the Sydney firm, and has received a notification that, as the prioo Quoted, added to the Onstoms duty and tho cost of takliiß tho tug over, males u prohibitivo price, no business can eventuate."
