It seemed to him that it had been founded on the Bombay feature. Bombay was fortunate in having a Act the financial arrangement being its leading
million sterling before they took any measures. It was essential that a body should be appointed to see to its management, if they wished to work on the same lines as at Bombay. The board at Borolny had a Chairmao, a most capable man, who devoted all his time and received 3,000 rupees a month renumeration, This was a hanger salary than paid to the chief Justice of this Colony. There was also a certain sum – be taught 30 rupees or about 2 guinvas paid to minubers for each meeting. The committee suggested that the Attorney- General, the Director of Public Works, the Pucipal Civil Medical Offices, the Officer Com manting the Royal Engineers, the two ment- bers elected by the Chamber of Commerce, tw justices of the peace and three members nominated by the Governor should form this Trust. Before these gentlemen could be appointed it was necessary to first enquire whether they were willing they were all men whose time was wholly occupied. The Altor- ney General devoted his time to the Goven- ment and so the Government could insist on his doing this work, An objection to th
appointment of the Attorney General orcured to him, which to him appeared very important. The Autorney-Lieneral was practically the intermediary between the Trust and the Government and so would be debarred from being a member of the Trust The Director of Public Works' time was also fully occupiesl This was a very elaborate scheme and would ! require the whole time of the body of men to look after it.

But the founder of the Fujiwara did not dress his genealogical tree with convincing accuracy, and bistorians are not un- animously agreed that bls progenitors were divine. The Senge family, however, goes right back without any dissolution to continuity to Amatsu Koyane-no-Mikoto, and from generation 10 generation has discharged the high priestly functions at the shrine of Oyashiro in Izumo..

That is a very entertaining version of the facts. to the tappy faculty of cunning the suffer Russia produces many diplomatists who pos-- in modo with the fortiter in re, but she has not many who excel Baron Rosen in that respect.
