The Minister of the Interior, in order to expedite
as much as possible the dispatch of business in his
department, has addressed the following circular to
the Prefects :
" Monsieur le Prefet,—The administration ought
not only to act with justice and impartiality; it will
fulfil its mission but imperfectly
a rapid impulse to all the different branches of the
service confided to it. It is the duty of the Govern-
nrz.nt to give to every affair a prompt solution.
The decree of March 25 permits you to act in a direct
submitted to my decision. Tho communes
if it does not give
mcnner on a number of questionl, which were formerly
and private
individuals have already felt the benefit of this measure.
It is important to complete great aff,irs, as well as little
ones, by giving them immediate examination. This care
coictlns me,
me. I consequently request you to send
me in my task, for your co-operation is indispensable to
but you must, Monsieur le Prefet, second
me regularly
a list of the affairs sent to the Ministry of the interior,
cn'i which may have remained without solution or un-
replied to, after an interval of one month from the pe-
riol of their being so transmitted. This list. must be
_
sent addressed ' Cabinet du Ministre.' I will imme-
diately inquire into the causes of the delay, so that you
may make them known to the parties interested. From
irptly attended to,
this time you have, Mons. le Prefet, , sure means of
calling my attention to affairs which have not been
pr,.
and I hope that you will make
.
use or it with z pct and ,perseverance.--Accept, &e."
