A meeting of business nun was held at the Hudders-

 sider the scheme for the extension of the textile

 up-to-date machinery. The following resolution was 

 passed : — "That this meeting of employers engaged in 

 thi textile industry in the Huddersfield district ap- 

 proves of the scheme for the extension of the textile 

 department of the Huddersfield Technical College, as 

 outlined bv the members of the sub-committee." We 

 understand that the premises have now been acquired, 

 and that the transfer of the existing technical depart- 

 ment to the. new building will begin immediately. 

 Any sum not required for the equipping of the in v. 

 premises will be used to found scholarships for textili 

 students.
