'equests from public libraries while
appointing the committees, suggested

appointed, from which action impor-
ant results were likely to be gained.
There were other special subjects that
night be taken up. For instance, in
lis travels through the country he
ound division of opinion on the rela-
i've merits of belt-driven and water
riven centrifugals.
