MEETINGS OF THE COUNCIL. 8th April. Twenty-three members present. The late Mr. F. M. J. Lyons. A resolution was passed expressing the deep regret of the Council at the death of Mr. F. M. J.

A report was adopted from a special com– mittee of the Council appointed to confer with a deputation of members of the Solicitors Apprentices' Debating Society.

Twenty-four members present. Special Examiner. A letter was read from Mr. Frank V. Gordon tendering his resignation of the office of Special Examiner to the Society for the Preliminary Examination. The Council in accepting his resignation desired that its appreciation of the services rendered by Mr. Gordon to the Society as Special

Examiner for thirty years past be conveyed to him. Library Catalogue. The tender of Alex. Thorn and Co., Ltd., for printing one thousand copies of a catalogue of the books contained in the Society's Library was accepted. Local Government. An advertisement issued by the Local Appointments Commission inviting applica– tions from Solicitors between the ages of 25 and 40 years for the appointment of the combined office of Clerk and Solicitor to the Athlone District Council, whole time, per– manent, and pensionable, at salary of £300 per annum, rising by £10 yearly to a maximum of £400 yearly, was considered by the Council, and the following resolution was passed: " The Council having considered the terms and conditions under which members of the Solicitors' profession are invited to make application to the Local Appoint– ments Commission for the appointment of Clerk and Solicitor to the Athlone Urban District Council, expresses its opinion that both the initial and maximum salaries offered for the combined offices are wholly unreasonable and inadequate. The Council requests the Minister for Local Govern– ment and Public Health to receive at an early date a deputation from the Council in reference to this matter."
