included in the duties of the Plant and Scavenging Committee,
it was recommended that the Resolution of the Yestry of the

rescinded. On the 27th of April, the Committee's Report was
adopted by the Yestry, and a Resolution was moved by Mr. Teather
and passed " That except as provided by the new Bye-Laws the
new General Purposes Committee shall succeed to the duties and
functions of the existing General Purposes Committee; the new
Sewers and Sanitary Committee shall succeed to the duties and
functions of the existing Sewers and Sanitary Committee; and the
new Finance Committee shall succeed to the duties and functions
of the existing Finance Committee;" on the motion of Mr.Wallace
a Resolution was unanimously passed thanking its Chairman
(Mr. Middlemass) for the ability with which he had presided
over its deliberations. Subject to the statutory confirmation,
resolved upon at the next meeting on the 4th of May, 1887, the
Committee's recommendations were thus embodied in the ByeLaws,
and took practical effect after the May elections.
