And 304 -5 OCT 1927

Sir,

I have the honour to acknowledge the

receipt of your despatch No.62 dated 2nd March, 1927,

on the subject of the revised arrangements for the

selection and training of candidates for survey

appointments, and to confirm my telegram of 6th May, 1927, requesting the appointment of two Second Class

Surveyors, as soon as their training course is completed.

2. with reference to paragraph 9 of your

despatch the Director of Public Works suggests that

instruction in observations for latitude and longitude

and a certain amount of spherical trigonometry might

usefully form part of the training if not already

included in the course.

It is observed that Memorandum Miscellaneous

No.225 contains no information regarding the Surveying

Service of this Colony. A note supplying this information is being prepared and will be forwarded to you in due course

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient humble servant,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

LIEUTENANT COLONEL L.CMS. AMERY, M.P.,
