The Dunedin Chamber Of Commerce . This Chamber as re-constituted, dates back to 1837, when Mr. G. L. Denniston occupied the presidential chair. Since then the following gentlemen have been, successively, presidents: Messrs John Roberts, J. M. Ritchie, A. S. Paterson, Keith Ramsay, A. C. Begg, Walter Gow, G. L. Denniston, John Moloney, D. E. Theomin, C. W. Rattray, and the Hon. T. Fergus, who at present (1904) holds office. The other officers are: Messrs R. M. Clark (vice-president), C. P. M. Butterworth, J. M. Gallaway, Walter Gow, John Moloney, C. W. Rattray, H. Salmon, and P. R. Sargood, committee; Mr. John Davie, honorary auditor; and Mr. Peter Barr, secretary. The Chamber's office is in the Stock Exchange Buildings, where the meeting-room, a comfortable, well-finished apartment, is well sppplied with leading daily newspapers and trade journals. For the year ending June, 1903, the revenue was more than sufficient to meet all expenditure, and left is hand a balance of £201 19s 4d. During the same year the membership reached the record number of 101, and showed that the chamber is fairly representative of the trade and commerce of Dunedin. The annual report, a pamphlet of fifty pages, contains a large amount of valuable information regarding subjects which have a bearing upon the trade and industrial progress of Otago and the rest of New Zealand.
