Circular letter to nine heads of departments within the Chief Secretary's Department.
Chief Secretary's Office
Melbourne 30. October 1879
Sir,
I have the honor to inform you that the Commissioners of Audit have brought under notice the greatly increased number of transfers made in the year 1878-9, and to request you will be so good as to avoid in the future, as far as may be practicable, the necessity for making applications for transfers from one vote to another.
I have the honor to be
Sir,
Your most obedient servant
W. H. Odgers
The Government Botanist
