DELEGATES MEETINGS

A discussion then ensued, mainly about the provision of funds for the work, 
in which the possibilities and problems of seeking funds from commercial concerns, 
from scientific unions and similar bodies, through sustaining memberships, and by 
other means, were raised and various precedents quoted. 
The President said that it was an open secret, he thought, that he, General 
Brown, was the unfortunate individual slated for this new job. He had some hope 
that it might be possible to raise sufficient funds within Great Britain. If not, the 
problem might have to be put to the Council or the duties might have to be curtailed. 
In any case the necessary funds could not be found from ISP membership fees since 
at the present rates they were hardly sufficient to finance the normal Administration. 
Most of the questions raised were matters which the Statutes Committee would have 
to consider over the next four years. 
Mr Odle suggested that the proposal be remitted to the Council so that they 
could bring a final draft before the next meeting of delegates. This was agreed. 
The Secretary-General reported an application for membership from the 
Photogrammetric Society of South Africa. South Africa had joined the ISP, he said, 
since the Stockholm Congress through the admission of the Institute of Topographical 
and Engineering Surveyors of South Africa, which was a professional body admitting 
members of that profession by examination and the like. More recently there had 
been formed the Photogrammetric Society of South Africa with membership open 
to all persons interested in photogrammetry. That society had now applied for 
membership. The Council had held discussions with official representatives of both 
bodies and had received the assurance that these two bodies would, if both were 
admitted, speak with one voice in all matters of direct reference to the ISP. There 
was precedent for such dual representation and the Council now recommended the 
admission of the South African Society upon the undertaking given by the two 
bodies. 
The President invited comments. There being none, he formally moved that 
the Photogrammetric Society of South Africa be admitted under Article 3 (a) of the 
Statutes to membership. This was agreed. 
The Secretary-General said that the Chilean delegate, who was unable to 
be present, had handed him a submission which would be presented formally at the 
next meeting. He had been asked to read it out now, so that delegates might give 
thought to it in advance. He then read the submission - see meeting of 16 Sept. 
The Treasurer asked if he might make a brief financial statement. He said: 
I think you would like to know that our total numbers at this congress are 786 
registered participants and 183 ladies. We received no Government subsidy in money, 
but we have had very generous help in services and in manpower. 
The British Photogrammetric Society and the R IC S have helped us with loans 
and grants totalling <£ 2,300, and this, combined with your ISP membership dues 
of <£ 2,200, gave us our initial funds. A few ISP member societies do still owe 
small amounts and I would be most grateful if they could see me before the end of the 
congress and settle these sums. 
You would like to know, I think, that the total direct expenditure on the con 
gress is about £- 35,000, towards which the exhibitors, after we have deducted the 
exhibition expenses, have contributed <£ 12,500. You will see, therefore, that the
