Among the other items on the agenda which came up for discus- sion was a letter from the C.B.A. which was held in abeyance pend- ing further investigations and :a present to Mr. F. A. Kemp, by the 19.IN BAM: Hon. Secretary, without the sanc-.

Secretary took it upon himself to take any such action, he should first consult members of the Coun- cil, as the Association was not on such a firm financial basis as to guarantee parting gifts to members of the Council.
