It is with regret that we record the death, in May 1944, of one of our members, Mr. J. H. Turner. He brought to our deliberations wide knowledge and experience, and his personal qualities had earned him a high place in the regard of each of his fellow members. It was not considered necessary to fill the vacancy on the Committee as our Report was then being drafted.

* In October, 1943, Mr. E. B. Hart retired from the service of the Ministry of War Transport. His place on the Committee was taken by Mr. H. R. Lintern.

On account of illness, Sir Frederick Cook was unable to attend two of our meetings. On these occasions Mr. A. J. Lyddon, C.B.E., M.Inst.C.E., Chief Engineer, Ministry of War Transport, acted as Chairman.
