2. I would refer also to my confidential

despatch of 10th July in which a recommendation is made

for filling the substantive vacancy in Class I of the

Cadet Service caused by the retirement of an officer in

that Class who se post is filled by an officer from out side

Head of the Sanitary Department for over two months.
