Sir,
I have the honor to inform you that with the view of enabling as many troops as possible
to muster for the purpose of lining the streets on the 25th instant, the date of the
departure of his Excellency the Governor
from Australia, the Honorable the Premier directs that arrangements may be made to
afford every facility to members of the Forces in the Public Departments to parade
on that afternoon, and I have to request that the necessary steps may be taken to
give effect to that instruction as regards your branch of the Department.
