It night be contended with a fair show of reason, however, that a second Magis- trate is about an unnecessary a au As- 0.75 sistant Harbour Master. Ar Wise bus for about a year done the whole of the work at the Magistracy without assistance, aud he does not appear to have been overtasked; but Mr Wise is ne of the few public officials in the 1.00 colony who are thoroughly competent to discharge the duties of their office, and,
weave already remarked, the, 1.30 question of competency in generally speaking, not one to which paramount 0.75 importance is attached in the public
service of the colony.

In communities where there is scarcity of men f to discharge the duties pertaining to public ofices it often happens that one man in his time plays many parts. If ander soch circumstances, the various offices are not filled so satisfactoris as they [ might be, there is a reason for it which is at arco obvious and suficient. If the road una is put into the square hole, the fact that no square man is available goes a long way towards making the misfit lerable. But it is very different thing when, as is the casa in this colony, amperfluity of officials, wao mover be provided for, results not only in the wrong men being put in the wrong places but in places being made for men whose services could easily and profit. he disposal ably be dispensed with.
