2nd. February, 1917.
The Un-official Members of the Executive and
Legislative Councils strongly advise that the Government appoint a Board, with an un-official majority of members, and with the following functions and powers:-
brought
(1) To hear cases voluntarily before it of men between the
ages of 18 and 35 who have been medically certified as
fit for active service in the war and who desire to
leave the Colony for that purpose, but whose employers think they cannot be spared or who for any other reason have difficulty in going;
(2) to advise in the said cases upon the course which the
Board considers ought to be taken;
(3) to grant certificates in the said cases to those men
whom the Board considers indispensable in the interests
of the Colony for the civil work on which they are engaged, or who are detained by the Military
Authorities for local defence.
