I would suggest replying that scheme for beginning and gradually winding up medical and sanitary supervision in the new territory.

Also that it is desirable that appt., if to be made permanent, should be considered in connection with other proposed alterations in the medical & health department and that arrangements should be made clearly showing the work to be done when all the appts have been made.

Chamberlain would be informed by proper dorte.

I judge why plague malaria to appoint a person mainly for work the temporary prevalence of plague and other infectious diseases.

Telegram from Miss J. MG 3:17 I agree to an engagement with option to retain him at the end of the 3 years for 2 years. The Governor to give us some general idea.

Good we ought to appoint a man on a 3 years engagement with option to retain him at the end of the 3 years for 2 years.

Salary commencing at $3900. (£487) then $4200 (about £524) Salary these figures are subject to revision.

Scheme adopted. Mr Lucas.

Ry. 30/8. I had an extremely good man here this morning. Dr. ER Laing (see lower bundle, which is in 27928/97).

Offered him a Fiji post he refused & took it up & has lived considerably inferred his experience he has been in plague duty under the India Office, & has served with the Egyptian army.

He has been for a grant at £600. He has excellent testimonial from General Lane & others (in envelope attached to then papers).

31215-4000-6-1900 39720-8000-2.01 He is now wanting a permanent post.

He won't take a 3 years engagement. It is a pity.

I think it would be a good appointment though.

Etten. 30/9. as a permanent post. The Chief need not see him.
