WELLINGTON DIOCESAN COUNCIL. The final meeting of the executive committee for the present year was held at St. Joseph's Hall, Buckle Street, on Tuesday, June 25. Mr. J. E. Gamble, in the absence of Father Hurley, S.M., presided, and there was a large attendance of members. The report and statement of accounts for the year were considered and adopted without amendment, and satisfaction was expressed at the sound position financially of the diocesan council. The scholarships scheme was further considered, and proposals regarding the allocation of the scholarships over the archdiocese were agreed to, for submission to the council meeting. The amount passed through the books of the council to the credit of the Field Service Fund for the year constituted a record, no less than £9Bl lis having been paid over to the Dominion Executive on this account, as against £456 10s in the previous vear. Final arrangements were made for the council meeting at St. Anne's Hall, Green Street, on Thursday,, July 11, and the attendance of delegates is likely to exceed that of .all previous meetings, many committees not previously represented having signified their intention to send representatives on this occasion. The executive placed on record its sincere thanks to the N.Z. Tablet for its consistent support of the Federation and for the space given to the monthly reports.
