This is one remit -that .should receive the unanimous support Of all the delegates. RELIEF MEASURES; . With- a. view- to affording relief to clubs, owners and trainers regarding annual fees and levies now payable, the Auckland Trotting CJub is presenting a remit to the conference Which -asks tile executive of that body 1 to submit to the next annual meeting a report on the annual receipts and workiiig' expenses} and the' asset's and funds of .the conference, the association, and provident fund trustees, together with its recommendation thereon, with such alteration of the rules as may be necessary to give effect thereto.
