Secretary's Report.
Mr. G. S. ZIMMERN. the Hon. Secretary, presented a very interest- ing report, which reviewed the year's activities. He stated that during that period extensive re- pairs had been carried out to the roof and fabric generally of St Peter'a Church. They were COM- mented in October, 1995, and were 1926. The Church Council then had to face a deficit of $1,500, which had been wiped out mainly by the proceeds from socials, concerts, and recitals organised by St. Stephen's Girls' College, St Andrew's Kowloon, the Male Voice Choir and their own members.
