ing positions on the Council:—

Vice-Presidents: Mr. C. AV. Maclean, Mr. J. G. Membrey. 
Hon. Treasurer: Mr. E. G. Brooke. 
These gentlemen were declared elected by the Chairman. 
Mr. Lloyd thanked the members of the Council for having 
again elected him as President, and stated that it gave him 
great pleasure in working in the interests of the Society. He 
then moved a cordial vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor for 
allowing the Society the use of a room in the Town Hall for 
their Annual Meeting, and also for kindly presiding. He hoped 
that in the near future it should be so arranged th;it the IVIayor 
of the City should have a seat on the Council of tiic Society. 
The Lord Mayor, in replying, said he thought it would 
be a wise plan to have the Lord Mayor on their Council, and 
also the Chairman,of the Municipal Association of Victoria, 
so that the representatives of the citizens should be more in¬ 
timately associated with the work of the Society.
