By an Order in Council of the 29th August, 1904, 

 copies of which were sent to all the incorporated societies 

 of the New Zealand Institute, the property of the New 

 Zealand Institute, previously vested in the Board of Governors 

 under the Act of 1867, is vested in the Board of Governors 

 under the New Zealand Institute Act of 1903. The schedule 

 of property so transferred consists, inter alia, of £2,247 9s. 5d.. 

 being residue of the bequest of the late Charles Booking 

 Carter for the purpose of establishing an astronomical ob- 

 servatory. 



Acting under instructions of the last meeting of the 

 Board of Governors, the Colonial Secretary was communicated 

 with on the 30th January, 1904, asking for railway passes to 

 members of the Board when attending meetings of the New 

 Zealand Institute, and a reply was received on the 8th March 

 that the Colonial Secretary was not prepared to grant free 

 railway passes to members of the Board of Governors, nor to 

 defray the cost of their steamer-fares when attending meetings 

 o: the Institute. The matter will come up for consideration, 

 as Mr. Hill, of Napier, has given notice of motion dealing 

 with this matter.
