Tillman, the President asked that he had son Mr. Tratinsa in connection with the matter, and he had informed him that when two married Inspectors were allowed to leave the Colony for war service it was clearly, stated that the posts should not be filled up if that could possibly be avoided, that had altered the position so far s worke

those applications were concerned Therefore, he would ask the members to allow the applications to stand over until the next, Board meeting to see if 7

they could get along with the present staff

Mr. Alabaster remarked that the Board were really short of six officers tem porarily and five for a considerable time, and he certainly thought the needs of the Colony, even with the war in pro gross, required that they should lurther offers for those posts,
