There are 13,921 authorities for monthly deductions in Operation, an increase of approximately 30 per cent., compared with the number for the previous year. Of the total' membership 97 ncr cent, was financial at the end of June last. a result which has.not been attained previously.

In order to conserve paper and to keep down costs a rationing scheme in connection with the "Public Service Journal" is suggested to the executive council.

The turnover of the Public Service. Investment Society, Limited, for the year ended March 31 last' was a record, being £117,000, which is expected to be surpassed in the present financial year. Appreciation is expressed of the work of the section committees and section officials, which, it is stated, has been largely responsible for the fact that the organisation is stronger today than at any other time in the association's history.
