I exercise discipline of the office and, whilst exercising a general supervision over all and dealing with all cases of work of special nature as such arise, I also devote my time in the Correspondance Office to such work as the following:

  1. (a) Taking verbal instructions from D.P.W. and preparing letters or minutes in accordance with such and submitting same for his signature. Such correspondence concerns both the Public and Government Departments.

(b) Drafting correspondence (letters or minutes to Government Departments and letters to Public) and submitting such for D.P.'s approval or otherwise. This particularly refers to correspondence involving reference to money matters or accounts, and the drafting is usually done before the papers have been put before the D.P.W.

(c) Personally deal with ("pro D.P.W.") and complete such Inter-Departmental papers and returns as do not necessarily require reference to, and personal treatment by, the D.P.W.

(d) Personally interview callers in the office on matters which do not require the D.P.W's own personal attention.

(e) Frequently deputed by D.P.W. to call on his behalf on members of the Public, on matters of public business, to obtain information anent such, or act in some other way.

(f) Collect and supply D.P.W. with material for his Annual Report and for the many other reports, &c. and correspondence generally, as required.

(g) Owing to my long connection with the office, I am consulted on non-technical matters of Government business chiefly procedure and precedents or some matter of "ancient history" involving local and departmental knowledge.

These interviews and consultations are constant and concern officers generally, from the D.P.W. downwards,
