THE
PRESIDENT,
addressing
the
meeting, said :
Since
the last half-yearly meeting the
Council has lost from amongst its members
Mr. Peter Scales, a highly respected and most
valued colleague, who had given consistent
and active service on the Council's Com–
mittees for a period of eighteen years, and
I avail of this opportunity of publicly paying
tribute to his memory
Mr. Frederick Lyons, of Kilkenny, has, I
regret also, recently passed away. He was a
former member of
the Council and took
much interest in its work.
The Council has been recently much con–
cerned with complaints regarding delays in
the assessment of duty on schedules of
assets and other accounts in the Estate Duty
Office, and also
in connection with
the
stamping of deeds and other documents.
As a result of personal representations I have
been assured that there will be no further
cause for complaint. The grievances were
admitted.
It would greatly facilitate business in the
Stamping Department if Solicitors would
particularly note the circular letter dated
