FOR SECOND TERM
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
PRESIDENT
When it was proposed at the meeting of the council of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce last evening to elect Mr. R. H. Nimmo president for a second term, some members expressed the opinion that the office of president should be rotated annually. Mr. . Nimmo's past services were praised, and his nomination was unopposed, but Mr. A. R. Hislop, in seconding tho nomination, and Mr. P. E. Pattrick, in supporting it. said the office of president of the chamber should be changed from year to year— "keeping the pot stirred," as Mr. Pattrick put it.
Mr. A. L. Wall, in moving the election of Mr. Nimmo, justified the move as a wartime development, and announced that he as vice-president could not afford the time to offer himself for the presidency.
It was stated in the discussion that this was the first occasion for more than 20 years that a president had been elected for a second term.
Mr. A. L. Wall was re-elected vicepresident.
