C. i\.dams, 8.A.) laid on the table the accounts of the Board for the year 1912, duly certified by the Auditor-General, and in doing so delivered the following address : — I beg to lay before you the fortieth annual report of the Chairman of the Board. Briefly I have dealt with the finance, but the tables at the end will give those who wish to study the matter more closely a full opportunity of so doing. In view, however, of the large appropriations that have been made for building purposes, it will be necessary for us for some years to examine very closely all proposals for non-recurrent expenditure.
