At the first Meeting of the Board after
the election of Members in June, 1898,
Mr. William Hewett was elected Chairman for the

Board in May, 1898, in consequence of ill-health. The
Board unanimously passed a resolution expressing their
regret at the resignation of Mr. Weir, and referred to a
Committee the subject of suitably recognising his
services to the Board and to the District for the long
period of 24 years.
