I dont think it is necessary for him to see the
correspondence between the P. C. M. 0. and the
Government.
16077
I can quite conceive that the Government has confident-
ial correspondence with the P. C. M. 0. which has
nothing to do with the Department, but dont you think
that any correspondence which does belong to the
Sanitary Department, should go through the Secretary,
even although the P. C. K. O. may have carried it on
direct with the Government ?
ITO,
I dont think so. I think if the Government ask the
P. C. M. O. for his opinion, there is no reason why he
should not give it direct to the Government, without
asking the Secretary to write the minute, or copy the
minute for him.
16078
Can you conceive in a big Public Company, the Secretary
of the Company not knowing of some correspondence which
the General Managers might be carrying on with the
Board, or with his Chairman .?
Well, I am afraid I dont know enough about the relative
positions of Secretary and Managing Director of Publio
Companies to be able to answer the question.
1679
That is as near as-possible the position which the P. C.
M. O. and Secretary of this Board have. Is it not a
fact that the Government, in consulting the P. C. M. 0.
might oarry on a correspondence, - we will say with
regard to a refuse destructor, a matter which is
distinctly relating to the province of the Sanitary
Depart kent, and such a correspondence might be
carried on without the Secretary knowing about it.
