It is with regret that the executive have to report the resignations of two of the officials elected last year, viz., Messrs. Lynskey and Robertson, both of whom have gone to reside in the South Island. The executive appointed Mr. J. Hignett as president for the remainder of the term. The present membership is 48 as against 60 last year, the reduction being due mainly to members having gone out of the land business. The balance sheet shows members’ subscriptions owing to be £29 Bs, of which £8 8s has since been paid, leaving £2l still outstanding. A portion of this, the committee regret to say, will not be available.
