Mr. A. HENDERSON:

The delay has been due to certain difficulties which have arisen in connection with the acoustic properties of the new Assembly Hall, and with the drainage of the site. But it is hoped to invite tenders in August for the first stages of the work. The Council are at present acting under the advice of a Committee of Five, but the execution of the plans when formally approved will be in the hands of the Secretary-General and the Building Committee of the League.
