After a vigorous discussion, lusting an hour and 40 minutes, two recom- mendations to the council were car- ried, but the Pres were asked not to report the proceedings.
The general feling, It was under stood, was that solicitors would not have spoken as freely as they did if they had known that their views were to be made public.
Mr. Holme pleaded strongly that the draft bill produced by Lord Macmillan's income-tax consolidation and codification
committee, which was set up in 1927 and worked until 1938, "should not be relegated to the limbo of forgotten measures."
"Every taxpayer," he said, "would welcome such a simplification of a law which he is supposed to know. Now that we have a Chancellor of Tents For Solicitors

The highly aendernicully qualified man was often not practically useful at all. Mr. Nordon suggested that such men should even learn short- hand and typewriting.
A young man came to him at 21 with a "double-first" at Cambridge. "Although he had taken a brillant aendemic course with highly-success- ful results, he reminded me of the gentleman who was too ignorant to be n clerk, and there was no Vacancy among the heads of departments." (Laughter.)
