They should no longer be combined. The Postmaster General should be separated from Treasurer with separate accounts and separate Reports.

I have suspended him from duty pending enquiry. (Minutes.)

A M. Meade

It will be convenient to consider the questions raised in the other paper (17271) regarding the combination of the offices of Treasurer, Postmaster General & Collector of Stamp Revenue. But I will first minute this paper.

The points to be considered are (1) the modus operandi of the defalcations (2) the question whether W. Traver (who was strongly recommended for the post of P.M.-G.) ought, on account of the defalcations having taken place while he was Acting P.M.G., to be regarded as unfit for immediate promotion.

The modus operandi of the defalcations is fully explained
