MEMBERS' ACCOUNTS.
APPEAL OF THE ENGINEERS' INSTITUTION,
י
Reference to the financial loss during last year suffered by tho Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders, Hongkong, was made at the annual meeting, which was held in the premises of the Institu- tlon yesterday evening under the chairmanshin of Mr. P. T: Farrell. An appeal for prompt payment of accounts, and for more members, was made, while Mr. H. F. Bunjo remarked ""we don't like to see the Institution going back."
Mr. L. J. Blackburn, in returning thanks for his election to the office of President, said he hoped that members would take a keener in- terest in the Institution. It must be very disheartening to Mr. Stoltes and members of the committee to sec so few members present, and he trusted the new committee would create more enthusiasm and get members to support the Institution.
Professor C. A. Middleton Smith and Mr. P. T. Farrell were elect- cd Vice-Presidents. Mr. E. W. Blackmore was elected to the office of secretary, and Mr. A. J. J. Mar- tin was appointed tre aurer.
Mr. Martin said it was a pity to see, month after month, members accounts that had remained so long in arrears, and he urged prompt payment.
Mr. W. J. Stoken was elected Honorary Librarian. He later ap- pealed for funds to improve the library, especially to bring the technical books up to date, and this was responded to by Mr. Andrew Harper, who promised to cun- tribute $100.
