My Lord,

With reference to my predecessor's Despatch

No. 176 of the 2nd June, 1917, I have the honour to inform Your

Lordship that owing to the delay in obtaining supplies which still exists, I shall be glad to receive your sanction to the value of the Standard Stock for the Public Works Department being retained during the ensuing year at the present limit of $200,000.

I shall address Your Lordship further

should circumstances make it desirable to reduce this limit in

the meanwhile.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

Σ.
