Dear Sirs,

I beg to advise you that Mr Justice Macdonald has this morning appointed you to be Local Improvement Commissioners under Section 21 of the “Victoria City Relief Act, 1918, No. 2”.  His Lordship, in announcing the appointments, took occasion to remark that the City is fortunate in possessing among its inhabitants three men who are so well qualified to perform the prescribed duties, and who are so public spirited as to be willing to perform them without remuneration.

I shall have the Oath of Office ready for administration whenever you call at my office, and as soon as the Commissioners are sworn I presume that they will elect their chairman and proceed to the exercise of their duties. The Council has provided for the necessary accommodation of the Commissioners a the City Hall.

Yours faithfull,

RW Hannington,

City Solicitor.
