COST ACCOUNTANTS BRANCH

The activities of the New Zealand | Institute of Cost Accountants were ex-j tended recently by the formation of a; Wellington branch. The proposal for* the formation of the branch was inaugurated by members resident in and around Wellington, and at a meeting called by Mr. G. J. J. Feil, a high proportion of the members attended and; supported the proposal. Mr. J. R..' Middleton was appointed chairman of; the branch, and the following commit-1 tee was elected:—Messrs. G. J. J. Feil! and P. G. Harle (ex officio as Welling- j ton members of the council of the in-j stitute), A. B. Diamond, R. D. Green-1 wood, L. V. Phillips, W. G. Rodger, I and D. J. Voisey. ! It was agreed that emphasis should! be placed on helping members to secure,: a more real appreciation of the diffi-' culties confronting factory foremen j and production executives, thereby j helping members to appreciate those j factors in production which they should! feature in their cost reports to make j them of maximum benefit to those! directly concerned. j
