his attention to that point about the minutes. It never

occurred to me.

Are you aware that Dr Atkinson is astonished that the 16074

Board could not enforce them?

No, because he has told me he was advised by the

Attorney General, since he has been away, that those

Standing Orders were enforced by him.

Now, Dr Clark, at the second Meeting, the first at

which I was Chairman, * I put a question to you "Do I

understand that the Secretary of the Sanitary Poard

sends out notions to the public and letters to the

public without your knowledge. Do I understand that the

Secretary practically carries out all the correspond-

ence of the nepartment, except the oørrespondence which

goes direct to the Government". Your answer was " Yes,

that is his duty as Secretary. Hie duties are

Secretarial". Now, dont you think that for the bette

conduct of the ŋepartment, all correspondence should go

through the hands of the Secretary, so that he should

be thoroughly conversant with all the work that is

being carried on by the Department ?

I dont know any correspondence carried on by anyone

else but the Secretary, except the correspondence with

the "overnment.
