This
opinion is also endorsed by the Resolution of the Board who
desired to express their high opinion of his services during
his period of office. Mr. Lindsey is at tho present time on
furlough in England and he would he willing to accept the
appointment for a salary of €2.000 per annum commencing in
September. Should his services be required for a longer
period than one year from that date, it would be 79cessary
for him to obtain an extension o his furlough and he anticipates.
that he would have little difficulty in so doing.
If the above recommendations be approved we would
forthwith anter with Ur. Lindsey into the whole of the con-
structive questions to which he would have to direct his
attention and especially with retard to the girativo measures
to be adopted in the case of the Bridges which have failed.
We are, Gentlemen.
Your obedient Servants,
