It is difficult to say that they are not up to particular standards in regard to age or other qualifications.

Private Secretary to the Governor, proceed as proposed?

I have no one to suspect.

Powell, Hayward, Millson, J. Matthews, Xandler, G. Cima, Ett. Vaughan, J. Conquest, S.T. Burgers, Ew Ball, J. Bowie

Major Close

For your information, I enclose the papers of the candidates listed in the margin.

1. is the last & not the best of the old Gold Coast Surveyors. He is well over age.

2, 3, 4, & 5 are not on your original list. The two I have called on are not attractive candidates personally.

11/3

I think that this appointment might be satisfactorily filled by a retired officer on the Ordnance Survey.

20.0.

I do not see any very satisfactory applicant on the attached list. The S.G.O.S. should be asked to select a man and justify his selection.

Age might be a consideration. He has plenty of men capable of surveying intricate city blocks.

If this fails, I suggest Mr. Matthews.
