The Secretary read a letter from the Halifax Joint Stock

safe custody. 
A letter was read from the Treasurer (Mr. J. H. Howarth) 
intimating that he had secured an advance of interest from 3 to 
3 J per cent, at six months' notice, commencing on April 1st,

This arrangement was confirmed, and the Treasurer thanked 
for his services. 
The Treasurer intimated that at the last audit there was 
a small balance of 18s. 4d. remaining to the credit of the Wharf e- 
dale Exploration Fund. As there did not seem any probability 
of the work at Grassington being resumed, and therefore it 
did not seem necessary to keep open the account longer, he 
had transferred this balance to the credit of the Society's general 
account. This arrangement was confirmed. 
The Hon. Secretary read a letter from the Sanitary Institute 
asking for delegates to be appointed to the 19th Congress, to 
be held at Manchester, commencing on September 9th, 1902. 
No member of the Council being able to attend, it was resolved 
not to appoint a delegate.

Corresponding Societies' Committee of the British Association 
for the Belfast Meeting. 
The Rev. W. Lower Carter, M.A., F.G.S., was appointed
