discussed by the scientists. The utilisation of trade waste 

 would be an excellent theme for the conjoint discussion, as 

 it opens up a large field of enquiry, and can only be treated

 and the scientists, who understand the possibilities of the 

 utilisation. 



The matter was then very fully discussed by the follow- 

 ing gentlemen: — J. H. Maiden, T. U. Walton, H, G. Smith, 

 A. B. Hector, Dr. J. B. Oleland, F. A. Coombs, and 

 Wallace Nelson. 



The discussion was then adjourned.
