SWIMMING ASSOCIATION. - LOCAL CENTRE. COMPETITIVE AND HUMANE WORK. Tho Wellington Centre of the New Zealand Swimming Association niet last evening, Mr. G. S. Hill presiding. Tho action of the executive in deciding that tho swimming carnival in aid 01 the. Y.W.C.Ai fiinns should be hold on March 25 was confirmed. Jn:reply to a letter from the secretary covering a motion passed by the centre, and providing that lunds in its possession, car-marked tor ' tho promotion :of litesaving, . should be hauded over to tho local branch-of tho-Royal Life-Saving •Socioty within 30 days'-unless an. objection to this course wore meantime, lodged by tho council of- the New Zealand Swimming Association, tho secretary to thocouncil wrote stating that it would bo Quito unconstitutional .for the centre 10 hand over any funds to the Life-Saving Society. At present the council had an application before it from the Nelson Contro applying for a portion of the funds held by tho Wellington. Centre. Matters would bo complicated if the centre handed over any funds to the Life-Saying Society. Concluding, the council stated that tho following motions would be considered at its meeting on Thursday, March 16. '. '"' What to do With Funds?. ' "That the Humane Branch of the association be discontinued, and tho money set apart for humane work bo refunded to this council, and be distributed pro rata among the branches of tho Royal Xifo-Saving Society." , "That it; be an instruction-in future ;to divide tho Government grant into two equal parts, one part to be retained by ■ the association for competitive work, the second part to be distributed pro rata among the various head centres of the .-Koyal Life-Saving Society." , The chairman stated that the amount standing to the credit of tho humane branch was .£49 19s. ' Delegates seemed to be in some doubt as to what tho actual, effect of the council's proposals.would be. ,';'■ Mr. Moi'peth said that apparently only Auckland and Wellington had a balance standing to the credit of the humane work account. Under the circumstances the proposed-allocation of funds seemed unfair. : ... .It was moved by the chairman, that the secretary of the New Zealand Council ba asked to obtain and present to the various centres .a return ■ showing tho amount standing to the credit of the humane 'fund in each centre. The coun■cil" was : asked also to compile a.return showing-the number of existing life-sav-ing centres. " • ; ■ Mr. Blick moved as au amendment that the Centre's delegates be. instructed to move:—"That half the amount of tho mone-y (huniaho funds) at present in tho possession of each Centre be forwarded to leadcjuarters for distribution,"pro rata, the other half "to bo retained by .the Centro for its! own life-saving branch." The' amendment was rejected. Trie Com'potifivo Branch. Mr. T. Shields said it was to the 'discredit of tha council that it had a big balnnce standing to the credit of the humane account.' The position might justify other centres in applying for portion of the accumulated, funds. The LifeSaving Society was a'useful, institution, but probably it would die down, as similar endeavours did some years ago.. Onehixlf of tho Government grant was far.too much'to allocate-to the humane branch. It .woiild. be well to devote tk-fc bigger half'of the fiin'd to the support of the competitive branch for the encouragement of swimming. . .- The chairman'said it-would perlinps be' well that the fund should be always under the control of the New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association. If any other ■ course were' adopted fho fuuds .might fall' irito"the hands -of irrespon ; siblo persons or of bodies not so-actively engaged'as they'should bejn, life-saving, work. . ''iisx'uoili'i!) After some further discussion the motion proposed l by tho chairman was .adopted. ... Mr. G. .Neil., mo'vctf that the centre's delegate lie instructed to move that twothirds of tho, Government 'grant tothe .New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association.,.should..bp devoted to the support of competitive-work,'-and one-third .'should bo handed to the life-saving societies. , ~ . The motion was approved. ' Mr. Henry's Visit. Mr.. Morneth brought up the question of liabilities-incurred in connection with ; Mr. Henry's'recent visit to -Wellington. This visit, he said, was arranged, and tho local branch of the Life-saving Society formed, on the understanding that the incidental liability, should l;e borne by, the .Centre. He would move that a sum of ' J!s':l3s. should, be handed over by the Centre to the treasurer of the local Life-saving Society. This, with a,sum-al-ready hauded over, would cover the total liability incurred of .£9 15s. 7d. The motion was agreed to.. Association Remits. In reference to a motion to bo considered by the council this evening .that : a 200 metre breast-stroke race should be substituted for tho 220 yards race now figuring on tho programme of the New Zealand ChamniOuships, it was agreed to instruct the Centre's delegates to support the retention of the event'in its present form. ■"•'' ■■'■'.;■ It was decided to support another proposal to conia .before the council—"That tho New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association should, affiliate with tho Australian' Swimming Union." • : ■ -■••■'
