Mandarins. do not like to have fun poked at them, and the Bureau promptly replied as follows:-
"In reply to your letter of yester day, our letter of the 1st August, was certainly intended to be taken seriously, and we do not understand your inquiry.. An advertisement which states that it has been raining from Sunday morning till Saturday night, which is headed A Downpour in large letters, and which is followed
by the word 'Rain repeated seven times, is as serious a breach of the instructions issued to the press in regard to weather reports as can be imagined, and we still await your explanation."
The editor decided to await the consequences, but nothing more was heard of the matter.
