Meetings.-Under the Byelaws of the Vestry
Standing Committees are appointed at the first
Meeting of the Vestry after the Annual Elections,
and Special Committees are appointed from time to
time to deal with special questions, and it is at the
Meetings of these Committees that a very large
quantity of the detail work of the Vestry is carried
out. The following statement shows the number
of Meetings held by the Vestry and the various
Committees during the year, and will also shew the
parishioners that the administration of their local
affairs is no light task, but is one which entails considerable
labour on those who, recognising the
duties and responsibilities of citizenship, come forward
to take part in the municipal work of the
Parish.
