Abstract :
A movement is now under way within the New York Section to divide the section membership into groups according to the field in which they are interested. At the present time four such groups are in view, namely; the Power group, the Communication, Transportation and Illumination groups. It is proposed that these individual groups will each hold a number of meetings during each administrative year for the presentation and discussion of papers of particular interest to them. The groups will be so arranged and divided into committees as to be able to handle completely their own meetings and affairs in general. This will provide an opportunity for a large number of Section members to take part in Section affairs, and permit also for wider discussion participated in by men who ordinarily do not get such opportunity at the large general monthly meetings. The monthly meetings on subjects of general interest to the entire Section membership will be continued. The Power group has set the date for its first meeting for April 10th and a program is being prepared. This group is under the chairmanship of George Sutherland of the New York and Queens Electric Light and Power Company. The chairman of the other three groups are as follows: H. S. Sheppard, Communication; T. R. Langan, Transportation; E. E. Dorting, Illumination.
