In consideration of the above and

กุ

E

of the fact that this Government already pays the Crown

Agents for the services named while they can at any time

obtain an expert opinion from firms well qualified to advise

in questions of traffic management, open line working, or on

matters relating to joint working agreement, I cannot see

what advantage this Government would gain by the proposed

arrangement and I am not therefore prepared to reverse the

decision arrived at by Sir F. H. May and concurred in by Lord

Crewe as stated in paragraph 2 of Mr. G. V. Fiddes' letter

you.

No. 28885/1910 of the 30th. of last September.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Mangaras

Governor,&c..
