REPORT

CONSTITUTION The Trust is constituted under the Licensing Trusts Act, 1949, and the members thereof were elected by popular vote at an electoral poll held on the Bth February, 1950. PERIOD OF FIRST REPORT The Trust held its inaugural meeting on the 15th February, 1950, and in the period of six weeks covered by this report has met on three occasions. Committees have met on a number of occasions when required to discuss architectural and general matters relating to the setting up of the business of the Trust. During the period covered by this report executive duties have been carried out by an Interim Secretary, and the Trust wishes to record its appreciation of that officer's attention to the Trust's interests. There have also been appointed consulting architects and solicitors. The experience already gained by the Masterton Licensing Trust has been made freely available by that organization, and much useful information has been obtained from this source.
