The chairman, Mr. George Goodwin, remarked that the death of Mr. List was an irreparable loss not only to his relatives and friends but also to the whole of the Dominion. The death of Mr. List had been a great loss to the district and to New Zealand, the- chairman of the Clifton County Council, Mr. H. A.

Wonderful work had been done for the whole country by Mr. List through the Rotary movement, said Mr. Foreman.
