THIS is not intended to be a “paper,” but rather a few concise notes on the Bristol Docks undertaking, dealing more fully with the developments of recent years, which give Bristol the right to consider that it is not only up-to-date but possibly ahead of the times, and is an indication that it is fully prepared to face up to and equip itself to deal with the ever-changing conditions. W.P. Wordsworth

The purpose of this paper is to describe the Portishead Generating Station of the City and County of Bristol Electricity Department. A.J. Newman

Mr. W. H. WOODCOCK (Associate), proposing a hearty vote of thanks to the Author, said that there waa previously very little literature on the subject of lightweight concrete construction, and it was valuable to have published in a paper such as this details of the various substances available.
