The Magistrates will very gladly make arrangements so that one half of the staff of the Department an have a holiday on Friday and the other half on Saturday.
This can be accomplished without detriment to the public business.
Magistracy, 13th August, 1877.
REPORT BY THE ACTING COLONIAL TREASURER.
(Signed,) C. MAY,
1st Police Magistrate.
The most convenient way that the Treasury Department can enjoy the holiday proffered to be riven by His Excellency, is that one half of the Officers are absent on Thursday and the other half on Friday. I believe the arrangement can be carried out without detriment to the service or inconvenience o the public.
(Signed,) C. MAY,
Acting Colonial Treasurer.

REPORT BY THE HARBOUR MASTER.
It would be an inconvenience to the public to close this Department for a whole day weekly; bat, in order that the Officers may have an opportunity of taking advantage of His Excellency's liberal
roposition, I suggest that on Wednesdays as well as Saturdays the Office be closed at 1.30 P.M.

REPORT BY THE POSTMASTER GENERAL.
Harbour Master.
It is very undesirable to close the Post Office under any circumstances, and the Saturday's half holiday is not observed here. I think however His Excellency's kind proposal might be carried into effect by giving half the staff a holiday on Thursday, and half on Tuesday, these being the leisure days
in summer.
As to the Stamp Office the hours are already short (10 to 3) and I do not think they should he curtailed.
Post Office, 14th August, 1877.

REPORT BY THE ACTING CAPTAIN SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE.
