Frob ably due weight will be given to all these cans derations by the Commission when rendering ita judgments, but, if so, why should to some definite assurance bo given Another point that needs to be cleared up is whether the emplonts of the Government are at liberty to volunteer Wide divergence of opinion, apparently, prevails over this question. In some direc tions the view is taken that, as the Government has been engaged for some time past in a combing out ргосева, nothing more in neceraary. On the other hand, it is felt that the Government has no more right than any commercial house to be its own judge in this matter, and that, having established an independent tribunal it should set an example of re- spect for it. In some departments, it is alged, there are numbers of eligible men who could be spared by means of little re-arrangement, without any serious detriment to the public service.

AN APPLICATION REFUSED,
An application was considered which had been made by Messrs. Butterheld & Swire for permission to erect one water closet and to change the position of one closet at 1, Connaught Road Central
Mr. Bowley minuted that he was told that, when the cable companies made an improvement in their system, some time ago, they wore only allowed to do so provided there was an independent water supply
The present applicants should be allowed to do so on the same footing He thought that part of the letter of application was weak from a firm which controlled such a large engineering staff,
