members of the board of commissioners

A. Mott-Smith
Since Marston Campbell has gone to
the Coast and there will be no execu-
tive officer until the new president
comes in on July i, the members of
tho committee wished to take up the
finances and see how they could spend
their money with best results to the
Territory.
They desire to spend little more at
present on more pressing things than
their pro rata. The members of the
committee will have a financial state
ment made up, showing their present
standing and what they may do in
future.
"Have you considered any names
for the Office Of executive officer2" the
Governor was asked.
~ have not, :" was the reply. HDur-
ing the legislature we tried to find a
man, but we were not able to. There
have been one or two names recon-
mended, but we have not really got
down TO the matter seriously because
the person cannot take Office until
July i under the law, and there are
other things which have to take place
now which occupy our attention.

Bertram and Charlie All Mum both
worked in a garage at Nawiliwili, at
the period covered by offenses charged
in the Indictment The Chinaman is

lations with the girl, who is alleged to
be under the age of consent. The max
imum punishment in his case, were he
found guilty, would be six months i'm
prisonment and fine of $1,000.

the white slave act, and the maximum
penalties for proved offenses similar to
those with which he is charged are five
