As this assessment dealt with a new area altogether, the labours of the Committee have been particularly onerous, and we are tly indebted to the gentlemen who formed the Committee, viz: Messrs. F. M. Gratton, J. Cooper and J. Prentice, for the great amount of time they devoted to their work and for the valuable results arising therefrom.
