written down and did not reiterate that reason, I am satisfied with having called attention to it as the reasons first stated are not the reasons now stated.
ME CARTER'S LEAVE OF ABSENCE, Leave of absence, from September 1 was applied for by Mr Carter, of the Sanitary Department.
con-
Mr Lan Chu Pak mimted that the application should be considered fidentially.
The President-Do you wish to consider this application confidentially.
Mr Shelton Hooper said: We should discuss. confidentially who is to succeed him. I think it is only fair to Mr Carter to say in public that he thoroughly deserves his leave, and that I should strongly re- commend the Governor to grant it from September 1. No man has done more for sanitation in this Colony than Mr Carter, and in the respective offices which he has held for the last seven years he has carried out his duties faithfully. Personally, I agree with Mr Lau Chu Pak that Mr Carter's leave should be granted, and that the work he is now engaged on--cubicle work-should stand over until his rotura, Mr Lau Chn Pak-I thoroughly endorse
Mr Hooper's remarks.
The President-I shall inform the Gor. ernment that the Board has no objection to granting leave to Mr Carter.
