In accordance with this decision the following executive was elected:—President. Mr. W. Sandison; secretary. Mr. G. Denison; Messrs. E. Meacham, C. Kibblewhite. K. Hyde J Thompson (for the Workers’ Union), and Messrs. J. F. McClenaghan, G. Denison, J. Risk and P. Dons (for the Ohura Medical Association). Dr. Turnbull’s application for a month's leave of absence was granted, his request for the payment of mileage fees being held over for an investigation of the coming year’s probable finance.
