of
I understand from your telegram No.425 of 1st. July
1946, that Mr.Colman accepted an engagement with this Government
for a period of "about 18 months" from 18th March 1946, the date
of his full-time appointment. He has now intimated that he is
prepared to terminate the appointment when he has completed one
year's service and I am satisfied that the activities outlined in
the preceding paragraph will keep him usefully employed for the
remainder of his stay in this Colony.

Mr.Melmoth earned the appreciation of the Port
Administration Inquiry Committee for the abilities with which he
performed the duties of Secretary. He is at present assisting
Mr.Colman in the work outlined in paragraph 3 and as reported to you
5/78/34/46 in my telegram No.1640 of 10th December, I have recently appointed
him to be Administrative Secretary of the War Damange Claims
Commission. He has shown himself able and hardworking and I have
no doubt that full use can be made of his services during the
remainder of his engagement, which is for a period of three years
with effect from 15th February, 1946.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
Sgd. MARK YOUNG
GOVERNOR.
