Cost of Proceedings
The Sub-committee has considered the cost of the Proceedings and reports as follows:—
The number of copies ordered by Branches is at present 1,336, and a total printing of 2,250 is therefore required. The cost per page for this number of copies is £3/12/3.
Volume 85 had 65 pages and the approximate cost per copy was 2/-.
Volume 86 will be the first full volume and includes, in addition to two Council Meetings, the Appendix, formerly in the Transactions. It also includes the text of the Hudson Lecture to the Wellington Branch. It will comprise approximately 125 pp. and the cost per copy will be 4/-.
Apart from a small charge for the cover, the full amount of this cost has been saved on the Transactions.
At the November, 1957 meeting, the Council passed two resolutions:—
| (1) |
That the Proceedings of the Society be printed separately from the Transactions and that they be distributed to all members. |
| (2) |
That the Proceedings be supplied to full members of the Branches which will be asked to pay the cost. |

At the Annual Meeting, 1958, payment by Branches for the Proceedings was opposed by some members of the Council.
In view of the somewhat contradictory nature of the above resolutions and the lack of definite facts as to cost at that time, the Sub-committee recommends that the matter be referred to the Council at the Half-yearly Meeting for further consideration in the light of the data given above.
