THE death occurred on December 1 of Mr. H. P. T. Lind, the chairman of the contracting firm which bears his name; he was sixty-six and was Danish by birth.
Herman Peter Thygesen Lind founded Peter Lind and Co. in 1915, in partnership with the late Mr. A. Ingerslev. He had previously specialised in reinforced concrete construction and the firm specialised in this class of work, in which it is, of course, still very active.

He also had chairmanships of various gravel companies and he was chairman of the North Staffordshire Gravels Association.
