These committees would go closely into many questions that were interesting the public at the present time. Thoir work as a Nomination Committee had now ceased, unless the Efficiency Board chose to call them together at a later yenod. Mr. A. Leigh Hunt, another member of the Nomination Committee, said that Mr. Luke had covered the ground as far as he could. Ho read a remit which the chamber had sent on to Ilia conference of the associated chambers dealing comprehensively with economy and efficiency. They would hare to study and practise economy and efficiency in the iuture. Germany had done it to gain her objects, and they would have to do the same thing. Anyone could see that it was absolutely necessary on seeing; the waste of semes and material tbnt was going on at the present lime.
