Annual General Meeting and Dinner
THE
Institute’s Annual General Meeting, held at County Hall on 26th April,
was preceded by an address by
Mr.
T.
J. Jones,
o.B.E.,
Chairman of the
Executive Council and Chief Officer of Supplies, London County Council,
on
Public
Administration
in
New
York
City. Mr. Jones described the area
administered by the
City
of New York and the salient methods of adminis-
tration employed by the City Council. He then dealt in some detail with
the investigation undertaken by the Mayor’s Committee on Administrative
Management, the Executive Director of which was Dr. Luther Gulick.
This enquiry had resulted in the appointment of a City Administrator and
for a time Dr. Gulick had occupied the post. In conclusion, Mr. Jones
remarked on
the
scale of the task undertaken by the Mayor’s Committee and
paid tribute to the energy with which it had been carried through.
Following the Annual General Meeting, an Institute Dinner was held
in the Members’ Dining Room at County Hall and was attznded by about
70 members and guests.
This
dinner, the first of its
kind,
was greatly enjoyed
by those who were present, and it seems probable that a gathering of this
kind will become an annual event.
