sir,
In the event of a vacancy occurring in
the office of Commissioner of Public Works in
7
the Colony of Fiji, I desire to recommend for
this appointment Mr.T.L.Perkins, Executive Engineer
in the Public Works Department of this Colony.
I did not recommend Mr.Perkins for the
post when it was vacated by Mr.Badcock because
I had no opportunity of consulting Mr. Chatham
as to his fitness for the post.
I have now had that opportunity and I
can recommend Mr.Perkins as a thoroughly qualified
and capable engineer of wide experience and
industrious habits.
I enclose printed copy of Mr.Perkins'
testimonials, a statement of work he has been
engaged in under this Government, and a minute
by the Director of Public Works concerning his
qualifications.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
Amay
Governor,&0.
The Right Honourable
Lewis Vernon Harcourt.M.P.
