The COLONIAL TREASURER said: With reference to the remarks of the hon. mem. ber on my left (Hon. Mr. Pollock) as to keeping a ledger, certain things, no doubt, could be done, but it would mean an increase of staff and of accommoda. tion. With regard to the sale of stamps, we really do not know what they are, we could going to be used for and so never get proper return under each beading. We can always tell the total H19 EXCELLENCY: 1 understand that in the cases of super-embossed stamps, where thero has been a regular routine decision us to the proper stamp required, with some increase of staff you could have them entered, up?

MINUTES.

HIS EXCELLENCY: The minutes of the meeting held on Thursday have not been circulated to hon, members and I think that the best course will be, for the Hon. Attorney-General to move the suspension of the Standing Orders.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL. I more the suspension of Standing Orders to enable the minutes of the last meeting to be con- firmed, at the next meeting of the Council. The Standing Orders require that the minates shall either be read or circulated. There has not been time to print thern for circulation; they are rather long and full of details about the Stamp Bill. It would be rather a waste of time to read them.

The COLONIAL SECRETARY seconded, HIA EXCELLENCY: Members will have an opportunity of checking them and that will be more satisfactory than having them read.
