The present financial position of the* council does not allow n.s to consider the possibility of a Dominion leant going on tour for some time, hut your Committee pi eposes t.<> establish a reserve fund for this purpose and with this object in view, we propose to shoulder the* whole* of the* financial responsibility of the AI.C.C. lour.
