The following ■resolution was adopted: “Tlmt this conference of representatives of various local bodies, assembled for dealing with street collections which, in the opinion of this meeting, are at the present time far too numerous and are becoming an imposition on the good nature of a willing section of the community, considers that four days only in' the year should be set aside for this purpose.” Delegates will report to their local bodies with a view to getting this resolution confirmed.
