+The meeting promised at the outset to be a thoroughly ordinary, common or garden one, with no developments worthy of the name. Part way through, however, the recurring decimal cropped up. More of that later. The gathering was about 60 in number when the President opened proceedings, and minutes were read. Len Scotland wanted to know if we were going to give away Kurnell without further battle, and seemed most disconsolate to learn we didn't propose to join such an unequal struggle.
+Correspondence went quietly, but when the Federation notes were read, Neil Schafer was horrified to hear that Federation had turned its back on a cool £100. Couldn't we, he suggested, come to an arrangement to pass the prize money on to Federation, first making sure that there would be so many competitors from affiliated Clubs that we couldn't miss? There was no motion.
+The Conservation aecretary read (with annotations) a report of the Club's sub-committee on bush fire control. Having written in the first case to sundry political, agricultural and industrial figures and bodies and received many encouraging replies, the report stated, an interview with an officer of the State Bush Fires Committee had been arranged. The sub-committee had discussed the matter again and now submitted the following recommendations:
+(1) That the club write to the Premier, with copies to Mr. Kingsmill and the Bush Fire Committee, making the following suggestions:
+  (a) Many Councils have not exercised their powers under the Act, so fully-trained District Fire Officers, under the control of the Bush Fire Committee, paid by the State Government, should be appointed to:
+      - Stimulate local authority into action.
+      - Help to police the Act.
+      - Help Councils, Fire Captains, etc. in recruiting and training of volunteers, caring fcr equipment, co-ordination of Brigades in the District,  co-ordinatian. of spotting and fighting, circulation of information.

 Districts would need to be small enough for the District Fire Officers to know their districts thoroughly.
 That arrangements be made for fire fighting and spotting forces to stand by on "blow-up" days and that they be paid for time spent standing by and fighting, to compensate for loss Of wages. The rate of pay :might be that paid volunteer
 firemen under the Board of Fire Commissioners.
