For the board’s clerk (Mr. F. Bourne) the chairman had particularly warm thanks. He said Mr. Bourne had been with them for 17 years, and had they gone on another 17 years they would like to have retained him, as he was one of the best men in New Zealand, and with the ability to fill a position in any of the cities.
