The Minutes volume in question deals with various issues. In the BoD meetings’ agenda, we find very frequently cases of recruitments and contract renewals, promotions and payments to be made, purchases of logistics/technical infrastructure and arrangements made to resolve everyday problems. However, from time to time, we find the officials in charge taking actions for the resolution of a broad range of problems and issues. The financing of the Fish Auction House and the intension of ATE (Agricultural Bank of Greece, to participate in the construction and of appropriation the specific project come up often, as well as other projects running concurrently, namely the Lancashire quay. The meetings, generally deal with the development of constructions at the stables, the quays, other installations and structures, e.g., water supply and electrification. Also, we find constant references to the SILOS supply, the development of the works undertaken at the coastal boulevard, the plots’ divestment-expropriation and the respective compensations. Also, an issue of great interest are the technical studies for the construction of shelters and a warehouse for flammable materials. Of the same importance are various other cases and issues dealt with during meetings, such as the stevedoring conditions in general, and more specifically of steamboats carrying ores, the maintenance and insurance of equipment, the terms and conditions of leasing. Furthermore, the relations with companies, e.g., the discussion regarding the renewal of cooperation with company “POSEIDON” and the approval for the FRITZ STARK factory’s installations to be established in the Free Zone of Thessaloniki. We also find constant considerations around the issues of salaries, wages and pensions formation. Issues regarding the Organization’s staff, on behalf of which arrangements were made concerning their allowances and holiday bonuses. Even more, our attention is drawn to the proposals and following discussion regarding the 1961 Budget, with detailed analysis on the existing problems and their handling. The increase and reduction of revenue, due to major projects and dated Tariff respectively, open the issue of pressing need for shaping new Tariff prices. Also, various other financial issues appear (Financial Review, Balance Sheet), which are listed in the Minutes and displayed in the form of tables and diagrams. Finally, the BoD members addressed the issue of the Statistics Bulletin edition, the promotion of the Port work through the Press, drawing up memorandums and the appearance of relevant material regarding Organization issues, as well as elections taking place.
