assistance as intermediaries between the Government and the inhabitants of the New Territory, and have been of assistance in explaining to the villagers the objects of the various measures of Government which it has been found necessary to introduce from time to time.

5. No Chairmen of Committees have been appointed under Section 5 and I do not propose to make such appointments until experience has shown them to be desirable.

6. No necessity has so far arisen for making Rules under Parts IV and V.*

7. No local tribunals have been established under Part VI.

I am of opinion, in which Mr. Stewart Lockhart concurs, that it is doubtful whether it will be advisable at any time to confer upon the District Committees the powers with which the Governor-in-Council can invest them under Part VI. At any rate, there is no doubt that it would be unwise at the present time to enforce this part of the Ordinance.

Mr. Hallifax is at present discharging temporarily
