Tcogood, of Wellington, withdrew his nomination for re-election as president, j and Mr H. C. Jones (Auckland) was j elected president. In returning thanks Mr Jones said that motorists were likely to be deprived of the £200,000 grant it was intended the Public Works Department should contribute to highways annually. “We are,” he added, “well organised, but we will have to take very decisive steps to have that amount replaced. If money is going to be curtailed it will be very unfortunate.” Dr. Powell, of -Wanganui, and Mr W. O'Callaghan were elected vice-presi- j dents. The Executive Committee is:— Messrs G. M. White and H. Butcher (Auckland), A. Edwards and E. A. Batt (Wellington), W. H. Booth (Wairarapa), W. G. Walker (South Taranaki), F. J. Hill (Wanganui), V. Duff (Turakina), and J. H.
