report of Commission

of Enquiry into

Mr. Lucas

(Minutes.) Share copies to library.

I have

evidence, and it appears through the

most of the Committee's

conclusions

as to the

insufficiency of the staff of the Dept to

carry out the extraordinary

work of Public Works

and to look properly after maintenance of roads, bridges, telephones,

the maintenance

but

and building. We have directed the reduction of this year's programme

as you do not seem at all disposed to carry out their instructions, and it is easily clear that the works must only be postponed, not abandoned; and,

as will be seen

from para 21, of the report, it is

in regard to the maintenance of existing works rather than to the new works that the Committee regard the staff as in need of strengthening.
