THE SECRETARY’S REPORT

THE ASSOCIATION MEDAL.

(page 87)

The Board of Government have made an award of the Association medal which was established during the year 1899 and a fund set apart for its maintenance for the recognition of papers read before the Association and the acknowledgment of the worth of inventions and methods contributing to the advancement of the cotton textile art, the purpose being that it may give to any person whose work has been in their opinion an advantage of sufficient importance to the purposes to which this organization is devoted in its broadest sense, including any papers read before the Association, the production of any mechanism or processes in the fabrication, design or finishing of cotton goods, comprising mill construction, the generation of power and its distribution, or any of the works tributary to the cotton manufacture.

The preceding Board of Government, by the failure to hold an expected meeting, was unable to carry out its intention of making the award last year, and the present Board of Government have adopted what is believed to have been the preferences of individual members of the Board last year and have also awarded a second medal for the year just ended. The details will be included in the report of the special committee of the Board of Government having the matter in charge.
