DIEPOOR POOR SOGE
Sir,
I am directed to inform you that His Excellency the
Officer Administering the Government has under consideration
the question of suspending you from the exercise of your
office upon the following ground, namely, that on the 8th
November between the hours of 4.15 and 5 p.m. and on the 9th
November between the hours of noon and 3 p.m. you were, in
the offices of the Sanitary Department, in a condition incom-
patible with the proper discharge of your duties, such condi-
tion has due to indulgence in intoxicating liquor,
2. I am to call upon you to state in writing before the
22nd November any grounds upon which you may rely to exculpate
yourself.
W. Bowen-Rowlands
Secretary,
Sanitary Board.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
(ad) M. Fletcher
