Annual General Meeting: Finances and Membership The annual general meeting off the Engineering Society of China took place in the Old Carlton Cafe at 4.45 on Tuesday afternoon last. A representative attendance of members was recorded and_ the chair was taken by the President, Mr. F. B. Pitcairn.
The routine business of the meeting having been disposed of, the President proceeded to deliver the report of the Council upon the work accomplished during thd past session, In the course of his report the President said that during the session a very energetic campaign! had been carried out by the Honorary Treasurer to collect all outstanding subscriptions, with successful results. This had caused an abnormal number of resignations, but it was the opinion of the Council that the type of man who did not take sufficient interest in the Society to pay his subscriptions was no loss. Also opportunity had been taken to delete -tho names of a number of members who had left China and had not continued the payment of their subscriptions.
