REPORT OF THE TOWN CLERK.

By the provisional deed of January, 1837, executed by the
subscribers, the first committee of management was appointed
consisting of twenty-one persons, five of whom are a quorum.
That, to this committee it is now proposed that the council
shall elect six members, to meet fifteen of the twenty-one
originally appointed, six of the twenty one retiring.
That by the provisional deed it is declared " That the
committee may call for the amount of subscribed capital by
such instalments on the shares as they shall see occasion, and
may proceed forthwith to select, contract for the purchase of,
or procure such land in Liverpool for the erection of the said
hall, and may procure such surveys, plans, and estimates,
and enter into such contracts and engagements for the build-
ing of the said hall, and may proceed to erect a hall upon
such plan, with such work, fixtures, and accommodations,
and, generally, may make such arrangements for carrying the
objects of the company into effect as they shall in their judg-
ment deem necessary ; provided always, that such hall shall
contain ample accommodation for concerts. And further,
the committee may appoint and employ such architects,
builders, bankers, solicitors, clerks, servants, and workmen,
for the purposes of the undertaking; and may pay and allow
such prices, remunerations, salaries, charges, and expenses,
either already or hereafter to be incurred, as they shall in
their discretion or judgment think necessary and proper.
" That the committee shall, as soon as they shall deem it

expedient, procure a proper deed of settlement, to be pre-
pared and executed by the shareholders, for the purpose of
securing and carrying into effect the object and purpose of
the company, containing such regulations and provisions as
shall appear to the committee to be necessary for that pur-
pose, and the draft of such deed shall be submitted for ap-
proval to, and be determined on by, a meeting of the pro-
prietors.
" That in such deed it shall be provided, that so soon as
the erection of the said hall shall be completed, a board of

directors shall be elected, by the proprietors, for the conduct
and management of the hall, and of the business and affairs
of the company, with power to them to make by-laws for the
government of themselves and future directors, and a por-
tion of the directors shall annually go out of office, but be
re-eligible."
That by the arrangement between the corporation and St.
George's Hall committee, (the minutes of which have been
approved by the council) the council will have to elect into
this committee six members of their own body, to meet
fifteen elected by the subscribers, upon which the powers of
the present committee will determine.
That, as stated in the minutes of the arrangement, if
£30,000 is not subscribed, then the proportion of members
of this committee to be elected by the council and by the
subscribers, is open to re-consideration.
The proceedings of the finance committee were then con-
firmed.

The resolution on the subject of Mr. Falcon's salary
remaining unconfirmed for consideration under the standing
orders was read. The resolution was to the effect that Mr.
Falcon's salary be raised from £250. to £350 per annum.
The resolution was passed.
