These efforts of the Committee have been accom- 

 panied by great generosity on the part of donors, as will 

 be seen by the detailed lists contained in this report, 

 and the Committee have had the greatest pleasure in 

 thanking on behalf of the Council those who have 

 expressed their sympathy and approval by their valuable 

 gifts. 



The Committee would conclude this part of the 

 report by referring in regretful terms to the loss they 

 have sustained by the death of their former colleague, 

 Alderman John Walls. As one of their number his 

 presence was always valued, and his help always ready. 

 His example and influence were always for good. 



W. R. BARKER, 



Chairman of the Committee. 

 November, 1909.
