ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. 



all such. At this point Mr. E. Luff Smith, the Auditor for the year, 

 rose and explained the balance sheet and income and expenditure 

 account for 1920, and answered questions by Mr. Rudd and others 

 on the same. He expressed regret that in some unexplained way 

 the liabilities and expenditure, which in cases of this sort always 

 appeared on the left, had been transferred, it was supposed by 

 the printer, to the right of the balance sheet, and that this would 

 give an unfavourable impression to any accustomed to peruse this 

 kind of balance sheet. It was agreed, on the proposal of Mr. H. 

 Lance Gray, that the printers be communicated with, and that 

 this should be set right in the Volume of Transactions, also that 

 a proof copy of the Report, with balance sheet, should always be 

 sent to the Auditor for correction. Another question re the sum 

 of £2 9s. Life Assurance was also answered by the Auditor. The 

 Report was then adopted unanimously by the Meeting. 



The Chairman then gave his Address, in which he Avarmly seconded 

 the closing suggestion of the Hon. Secretary as to obtaining lists 

 of names of possible candidates, and expressed his appreciation of 

 the help rendered to the Institute by the last named, Lieut. -Colonel 

 Hope Biddulph, the Papers Secretary, and Lieut. -Colonel G. Mac- 

 kinlay, the late Chairman of Council, still an energetic member of 

 the Council, to whom the Institute owed so much in the past. He 

 felt it most important that the work of the Institute should continue, 

 because of the increasing need of such a testimony, and because 

 we were the only body in London attempting to carry it out. He 

 then proposed 



" That the Right Rev. Bishop J. E. C. Welldon, Dean 

 of Durham, Sydney T. Klein, Esq., F.L.S., Prof. H. Lang- 

 horne Orchard, M.A., B.Sc, and John C. Dick, Esq., M.A., 

 retiring Members of Council, be re-elected, and that Mr. 

 E. Luff Smith be reappointed Auditor for the year." 



This was seconded by Lieut. -Colonel Mackinlay. 



The second resolution was then proposed by Mr. H. P. Rudd 

 and seconded by Lieut. -Colonel A. S. Roberts : — 



" That the Report and Statement of Accounts for the year 

 1920, presented by the Council, be received and adopted,
