The Directors are glad to be able to congratulate the Members on the result of the action of the Board in reference to the Building Societies Act recently passed by the Legislature. As originally introduced, one of the Bills contained provisions seriously affecting the EIRICHSCIC Societies, which, if passed, would have compelled them to have registered under the Act of 1874, and they would then have been subject to its objectionable clauses. The claims of these Societies for exemption from the et:rotation of the Act were strongly urged by the lkeetors mad Manager upon the Government, and also upon the Parliamentary Select Committee to whillk the several Bills were referred; and notwithstanding considerable opposition, these claims were allowed, The Right lion. HERBERT Gtstirresa, M.P., stated in the Rouse of Commons, on the Bth of August last, that " The Government haz'e considered this intertion very carefully, and having regard to recent events in connectspn with cite B/RICTISCE Societies, the Government h.r.v . ome to the conclusion that it would not be right Infarct them to (Wife MISIOI eke Buildlol Societies Acts, and lien:fore they have inserted in the Bill this provision whi,h exemAts such Societies from the action of the Sill." Sly this exemption the constitution and privileges of these Sojeties no long enjoyed under the Act of 1836 are left undisturbed. In conclusion, the Directors congratulate the Members on the steady expansion of the Society's business in all its branches, and on the high I,3Bi:ion which it continues to hold in public confilence and esteem.
