This matter fully investigated with a view to ascertaining whether shelter could be provided.

It is right in suggesting negotiations that pipes should be procured orally or otherwise obtained.

It was ordered that the C.A. should be approached under austerity measures in detail.

Heretofore used for public service, it should be for individual agents.

Now the C.E. has withdrawn his suggestion for the same reason.

That weighed with Sir M. Nathan's attitude towards the Railway complication has been a great disappointment.
