Campbell said that the carnival executive had been of the unanimous opinion that the amount of £50, calculated at 5 perc ent, on the net return, paid to the carnival organiser was altogether an inadequate payment for his services. Ha had done a vast amount of work, and that the carnival was not the success hoped for was not his fault. The carnival executive recommended that a bonus o£ £100 should be paid td Mr. Honey. Other members of the oxecutivo spoke in similar manner.. .'■-.....■ . \. . Sir Harold Beauchamp said that he doubted whether . the meeting had' any right "toi" grant "the" additional amount. Mr. Honey had been quite prepared to accept the work on. 5 per cent., and took. the gamble. Mr. George Shirtcliffe and Mr. P. Myers supported- the carnival executive^ recommendation. The meeting voted Mr. Honey the bonus suggested. GENERAL FUND STILL GROWING.
