Gentlemen,—The report and accounts for the past year having been in your hands for some days I will, with your permission, take them as read.
Before moving their adoption will refer briefly to the more important matters which have occupied the attention of your Committee.
Your thanks are again due to the various auh-committees who have sat during the year, particularly. to those gentlemen dealing with pilotage and shipping, who have been called upon for a great deal of work from 1922 onwards.
