Abstract
OWING to sudden illness, Mr. W. B. Worthington asked at the end of October to be released from the duties of the presidency of the Institution of Civil Engineers. Mr. Harry Jones, who has been elected to succeed him, delivered the presidential address before the institution on November 6. Mr. Jones is the chairman of the High Explosives Committee, of which Lord Moulton is president, and is the first member of the gas engineering profession who has occupied the chair at the Institution of Civil Engineers. In his address he dealt with modern developments in gas practice, how far the practice has been making itself useful during the war, the fresh prospects it has in the coming time of peace, and, finally, the special qualification of the gas engineer and the work he has to do. Subjoined are extracts from the address.
