It will be remembered that on | March 2,1 s mesting was enlled ni the request of some 120 man, ari- ginally to consider the supersa- austion scheme which had been | published by the Inspector-General and also the question of some se. tizą to obtam the Saturday -after- noon holiday As the result of a, certain inciden; which recurred be- tween the convening of the meek- ing and the day on which it was held,it was proposed at the meeting to form a Customs Guild, a resolu tion that was carried with only one dissentient out of an attendance of ₤347.
