"July, Mr. Hackwood wrote me repudiating the cross-section and stating that Messrs Leigh and Ora had no authority to act for the Company, with the approval of the Government.
After the weather had been submitted to The Attorney General, I informed Mr Hackwood, on the 20th July, that the cross-section was to be adhered to.
rement, given and nuusb deposited by a referred to was the one by his Company.
Before anything further transpired, the Secretary of State's despatch, No. 302 of 14th August, 1908, was received, in which directions were given that the requirement as to concreting the full width between the two tracks "was to be waived".
After the receipt of these instructions I recognized that an approved cross-section no longer existed and I refused to issue any further permits for the work to proceed until new cross-sections were deposited and approved of by me.
I respectfully submit that any confusion or misunderstanding in this matter has arisen from the Company's neglect to instruct their agents properly and from their attempt to get approval for a cross-section which was condemned by me when it was first submitted by Colonel Bogle.
