would beg on his own behalf aud on that OF
the co-proponent to introduce the Draft an
to recommend it for adoption and speedy
action ON the part of the Council; this
Draft is one of The oldest friends of the
Colonial Council; even to new members the
question of bureau advances is we'll known.
Today the matter has been introduced again
to meet applications from those who need
the assistance, and some OF whom have ap-
piled to him on that head. As far as he
knew, there are only 4 persons who will take
advantage of the grant but as long as the
Funds are there, those 4 parties merit con.
sideSation too in times like these; the terms
proposed are the same as were adopted IN
the last Ordinance on the matter; he YOU
now merely recommend the matter to the
Council and propose that the Draft be sub
mitted to the 3 discussions at once.
The Governor said Personally he had
no sympathy with bureau which he did
not consider economically sound but, con-
sidering the history of the case. Govern
ment could not oppose the Draft if it be
adopted by the Council. nor had Govern
ment any objection to the 3 discussions
