Finance. 
The Report of the Finance Committee was received 
and adopted, and sundry payments were ordered to be 
made. 
Mr. Betty suggested that the Committee should be 
authorized to engage the services of a professional ac¬ 
countant to assist them and the auditors in preparing 
the annual statement of accounts. 
Mr. Savage thought such a measure quite unnecessary 
and uncalled for. 
Mr. Urwick approved of Mr. Betty’s suggestion, but 
after some conversation, the matter was dropped. 
Benevolent Fund. 
The report of the Benevolent Fund Committee was 
received and adopted. 
On the recommendation of the Committee, a grant of 
£10 was made to a registered chemist and druggist re¬ 
siding at West Derby, Liverpool. 
An application for relief from a registered chemist 
and druggist, aged 87, residing at King Stanley, 
Gloucestershire, was submitted to the Council, the appli¬ 
cation having been received too late for consideration 
by the Committee. A grant of £10 was also made in 
this case.

neas had been handed over to the Benevolent Fund by

Section 4. 
Parliamentary Committee. 
The report of this Committee was read and received. 
The President said he had a long letter from Mr. 
Vizer, with reference to the proposed new bye-law. He 
did not know whether the Council would like to have it 
read. 
Mr. Frazer said, in his opinion, it would be quite 
irregular to read such a letter. Any letter on such a 
matter should be sent to an individual member of Coun¬ 
cil, and not to the Council generally, or they might have 
letters from members all over the country, and they 
would never get through the business. 
The Vice-President being of the same opinion, the 
letter was not read. 
Amended Bye-laws. 
The Solicitor attended the Committee, and submitted 
draft of proposed bye-laws as approved by himself, 
which, on comparison with the suggested alterations 
printed last month, were found to contain in some places 
considerable verbal alteration. The whole of the pro¬ 
posed alterations were considered seriatim , with the fol¬ 
lowing result:—
