Abstract
THE Council of the Institution of Civil Engineers has approved the formation of a fifth division to be known as the Works Construction Division, under the chairmanship of Lieut.-Colonel C. M. Norris. Its objects are: "The promotion of the science and art of engineering in relation to the ways and means of carrying out engineering construction on the site: e.g. the use of machinery and plant, the design and maintenance of temporary works, the organization of engineering labour (including foremen and inspectors), and the use and inspection of materials". The opening meeting will be on January 2, 1945, when there will be a discussion on a report on "The Organization of Civil Engineering Work", recently prepared by the Institution and to be available shortly. All corporate members of the Institution who wish to apply for registration as members of the Division should inform the Secretary by postcard, giving name (in block letters), address, and grade in the Institution. The fourth division, approved also during 1944, was the Maritime Engineering Division dealing with harbours and docks, together with works of coastal protection and the like, under the chairmanship of Mr. Asa Binns. This will hold its first meeting on February 13, 1945. The other three divisions of the Institution are those of Road Engineering, Railway Engineering and Structural and Building Engineering.
