sir,

I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of

your letter of the 2nd. instant stating that Mr. Shelton Hooper

wished his opinion that Mr. Bowen-Rowlands is not physically fit

for the arduous duties of Secretary of the Sanitary Board,

made known to the Government.

In reply I am to state that Mr. Bowen-

-Rowlands has not been absent from duty on account of sickness

since 1906. The Government, therefore, see no reason why Mr.

Bowen-Rowlands should not be capable of discharging the duties

of Secretary to the Sanitary Board in a satisfactory way. It is

not feasible, nor would it be just to Mr. Bowen-Rowlands to

cancel the appointment on a mere hypothesis, but if the Board

should later have any reason to complain of the manner in

which Mr. Bowen-Rowlands's duties are discharged their complaint

will be dully considered in accordance with the rules of the

Service.

Colonial Secretary.
