SECRETARIES' DUTY.
STOCK EXCHANGE DEALING. Company secretaries were informed of their duty towards the stock exchanges in details which do not appear in textbooks at an address at the luncheon given to-day by the Auckland Chapter of the New Zealand Institute of Secretaries to delegates present in the city for the annual conference. The gathering took place in the reception room of Messrs. Milne and Choyce and the speaker was Mr. W. M. Barton, secretary of the Auckland Stock Exchange.
Most of what Mr. Burton had to say was of special interest to secretaries who have dealings with the stock exchanges. The information he gave was largely technical; but as lie made each point it was easy even for the layman to see that non-observance of the rules laid down for the relationship between the exchanges and company secretaries would likely cause inconvenience and actual expense, not merely to the stock exchanges, but to the investing public as well.
Mr. Barton said he realised that some secretaries offended through pardonable ignorance. But he stressed the importance of secretaries becoming intimate with their duties to stock exchanges, because not only did they benefit the latter, but also the investing public, to whom both companies and the stock exchanges owed a duty.
