Papers, letters.

What I want to gather is that you did not have any 15702

instructions from the Government ↑

I may have consulted the golonial Secretary. It is quite

likely I did, but I cant say.

I would ask you to be good enough to take a note of 15703

that, and see if you did consult anybody

If I consulted them, it would be verbally of course.

It was Mr May at the tima.

I would ask you to look that up, and if there is any 15.705||

written record as to who you did consult, I would ask

you to put the papers before the Commission, « With

regard to the accounts, supposing you have to make

special payments or increase the expenditures above

the estimates which have already been passed, by the

Couno11, - the estimates are passed in September or

October, and half way through the wɛtimates have been

exceeded, would you ask the Government for an additional

vote, or would you put the matter before the Sanitary

Board, and say what you were doing ?

I would approach the Government direct, of course.

14706

Would you inform the Banitary Board as a matter of coume

that you had asked the Government to give you an sétra

vote, or what you were doing in the matter ↑

Xo.

You dont put the estimats before them, and therefore i5707 you dont think you are bound to put any supplementary

vote before them ?

All these are matters that, when the question is ruined,

à doubt arises and one naturally asks for instruction.

Has it ever happened, since you have bean P. C. M. 0.”
