N.2.1.A. Correspondence.

Some-interesting information was put forward at the annual meeting at Napier of the New Zealand Institute of Architects as to the volume of work done in the head office during the year. To take one small item in the accounts, viz., postage, which was shown at LjO- It was pointed out that at 2d. per letter this meant that 8,400 letters or documents had been issued during the year. This alone is no small labour, more especially when one considers that while some of these are circulars they represent the results of several meetings of committees at which the subject dealt with had nrst been very fully discussed. The secretarial work of the past year has been no light matter, and it is not to be wondered at that a request was made for a revision of the terms of engagement. The time is not far distant when the Institute will have to very seriously consider the wisdom and necessity for retaining the full-time service of its Secretary. It might also consider a project for procuring a permanent home of its own.
