Mr. W.

When those gentlemon had Concluded their reports the financial expert would be in a better position to formulate bis scheme. I think it is a point of considerable importance to note that fir Dad's report is based upon the production of 108, which is really not a proper base fa report of the future rerenue, because the rol innstry was growing so that in three years the yiel of gold would have been donbled in fact that before the war the mining crapanies wėrs giving out erdera for plant and laying plis for future operations which would have meant the doubling of the Band's output within a few years.
