WELLINGTON WAR MEMORIAL CARILLON SOCIETY (INC.) ANNUAL REPORT OF COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH, 1943 Owing to the necessity for overhaul and renovation it was not possible to play the Carillon during the year. A complete overhaul of the Carillon and playing mechanism has now been completed, and recitals will be resumed in the near future. A monthly inspection and maintenance contract has also been arranged. Pending appointment of a qualified Carilloneur, the playing will be confined to the automatic player under a competent operator. It is anticipated that a full programme of commemorative music will be carried out, thus fulfilling the memorial function of the Carillon. Steps are also being taken to revive interest in the Carillon through the Wellington Carillon Society and others. The Committee extends its grateful thanks to the Board of Trustees for its action in authorizing the work of renovation to be carried out, and to the Prime Minister, the Right Hon. P. Fraser, and the Commissioner of Defence Construction, Mr. James Fletcher, for enabling the work to be undertaken, and to the Public Works Department for arranging supervision. The contract was satisfactorily carried out by Messrs. N. W. Thomas and Co., Ltd., of Wellington, and the Rotary Electric Co. Mr. J. McDermott has resigned from the Committee. During his period of office he rendered valuable assistance by making an exhaustive report upon the condition of the Carillon. Alfred Cowles, Chairman.
