Kane, the Green Lane delegate, was making a good recovery after his recent severe accident. Dissatisfaction was expressed that no official notification had been received confirming acceptance of curtain-raisers asked for by the authorities. ' Payment of the transfer fee for P. Mahima from Waiuku to Manukau was recommended, but the application in respect of W. Murray was referred back to Waiuku. Other favourable recommendations were made on behalf of Point Chevalier for L. Bickerton, H-: Hadley and H. S. E. Turner to Mount Albert, Richmond and Newton Rangers respectively.
