A letter was read from the secretary of the Otago Union (Mr R. C. Ross), stating that it was the wish of the Otago Union that a branch be established in Southland. The letter stated that the branch would have complete autonomy and suggested that a strong branch bo formed. The following officers were elected: President, Mr J. Hale; vice-president, Mr J. Coatsworth: secretary and treasurer, Mr W. S. Whitty; executive committee, Messrs R. C. Ramsay, F. James and E. Allan.
