RECR Rear 28 MAY 10

The suggestion is twofold:-

(a). Recalling an officer on leave.

(b). Allocating an officer in the Colony to act.

With regard to (a) the Officers on leave

are Messrs. Boulton, Hollingsworth and Perkins.

Mr. Boulton is an invalid and I can procure

a certificate from Dr. Marriott, who attended him, that he is

quite unfit for work. Dr. Marriott took so serious a view of his

case that he called on me personally to tell me how necessary

it was that Mr. Boult should be got away home as early as

possible.

Mr. Hollingsworth. Owing to the defecta

mentioned in my minute of the 19th, instant - his unfortunate

manner and lack of tact - I feel that I could not recormend him

for the post, even if he were at present in the Colony.

M. Perkins. I have explained the difficult

I feel with regard to recommending this officer. He is very

junior in service to the other Executive Engineers who are over

him with the exception of Mr. Jackman,

With regard to (b), the Executive Engineers

present are Messrs. Tooker, Gale, Fisher, Jackman and Jaffe.

Mr. Tooker. I have already stated my

reasons for not recommending him.

Mr. Gale. Goes on leave tomorrow under

Mr. Fisher, Mr. Jackman, and Mr. Jaffe.

Apart from all other considerations as to their fitness or

otherwise, these officers are fully occupied now and the appoint

-ment of any of them to the acting appointment would only dis-

-locate other work,
