Tha Chairman questioned the proposal concerning tha allocation of research expend!turis, whereby companies would share the expenses on the basis of ?% of salsa, according to figures prepared by Riddell, Stead, Crahan A Hutchison.

Tho Chairman polntas" out that the members cf the Scientific Committee are being sollicited from various cuerters end thet their advice and prestige have been so far most veluable to thE Institute end the Association.
