this department. I have therefore nearly 21 years'
service.
I am now addressing you because I feel that,
by not having been given the acting appointment, my
position in the department has been jeopardized. I
therefore desire to exercise the privilege of submitting
for your consideration the question of my acting appoint-
mont, together with confirmation to the substantive
appointment which I understand will be vacant in
oongaquence of Mr. Gela's retirement next year, and
trust that it will meet with your favourablə decision.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servent,
Anescuingsworth for bond CS
Senior Executive Engineer,
Public Works Department.
