ACCOUNTANTS’ SOCIETY

ELIGIBILITY FOR MEMBERSHIP AMENDMENT TO REGULATIONS. . (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, February 24. The council of the New Zealand Society of Accountants,, which met this week, has decided to recommend that the regulations be amended so that persons who have passed in the whole of their professional subjects, but have not com* pleted the aeountant’s preliminary, will be eligible for membership. In regard to members who have resigned or have been struck off the list for non-payment of subscriptions, and who make fresh, applications for admission, but wish to be relieved from part of the liability for their arrears of fees, which would have been payable if they had continued their membership, it was decided to insist on strict compliance with the rules. It was remarked that the readmission of such applicants without full payment of the fees due would not be fair to those members who had stuck to the society and had helped to build up its funds. . ■, .. The only change made in the council of the society was the election of Mr W. R. Brown. He replaces Mr James Hogg, of Dunedin, who lias retired after years* service. Mr Brown is a eon of Mr James Brown, of Dunedin, a former president. It was decided that the society e appreciation of Mr Hogg’s services should be recorded in the minutes.
