This sum exceeds the amount received during the last few years.

Further sums may yet be received. Appreciation of the good work done by the organiser, Mrs B. Goulden and the association’s secretary, Mr B. F. Anderson, was expressed by members. A report from the architect (Mr P. Pascoe) setting out a proposed plan for improvements to the association’s cottage at Arthur's Pass was discussed. The plan included the rebuilding of the veranda which commands a fine view, and the installing of an electric stove and electric paints and some minor improvements. It was decided that the architect’s suggestions should be carried out. final arrangements to be left in the hands of the president (Mr C. A Rattray) and Mr Anderson.
