Leys referred to the large amount of work which had been imposed on the president in connection with the projected War Memorial Museum The success of the effort, which had secured the large sum of £1(50,000, was mainly due to Mr. Gunson's initiative and the enthusiasm with which he had inspired thoso who were engaged in the campaign. Mr. H. R. Vaile stated that th- bulk of tlie money had been tiie result of a personal canvass by Mr. t.'unsou in a relatively small circle, and they all recognised that the task of acquiring this great sum avould have been virtually impossible without the Mayor's energy and personal guidance.
