to supervise personally what goes on the busiest time of the day and to attend as far as possible to the work of the Department.

Fortunately in the Treasury there is a most capable and trustworthy staff of Clerks. The work is carried on in three rooms opening one into the other, or rather in one long room partially separated into three divisions, so that the Head of the Department has his Clerks in close and immediate communication with himself. At the one end is placed the Cashier's Office, and with Mr. Carvalho, the First Clerk and Cashier, are associated the two Shroffs (Chinese), who receive all monies paid into the Treasury.

In the next division, the Accountant's Office, is Mr. Myles, the Accountant, and with him are placed the Clerk who attends to the collection of the Police, Lighting, Water, and Fire Brigade Pass, and junior employees who act as Copyist and Notice Server. In this Office, all receipts are made out and issued after being signed by the Treasurer.

The last division, a third room, is set apart for the Treasurer. Monies are being paid into the Treasury from about 10:30 a.m.
