Secretary, Colonial Office,

that might seem to hang fire,

and Penclose a copy of his reply.

7. I approve of

the promotion of Mr. Hollingsworth to the rank of Executive Engineer; and I have no objection to provision being

made on

the Estimates

for 1902, for the appointment of an additional Assistant Engineer,

to

fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Hollingsworth's

promotion, and an additional Land Bailiff.

4. In view of telegram of the

Governor, I am not

disposed to

reject

Mr. O'Mally's suggestion

as to the post of

Principal Land Surveyor. The C. A. for

Colonies will accordingly

be asked to select

a suitable officer from this Country for the post.

They

will also be

asked

how soon

to engage an additional Assistant Engineer, who

will, of course, not reach this Colony before 1st January

next, at the

earliest.
