Doctor Audin appointed Minister of Public Instructions. Public Works transferred to charge of Minister Borno. Government discharging many unnecessary officials in all Departments. New method of paying Government employees is being received with general satisfaction, this method of paying direct and on time should break up pernicious system of discounting salaries. Many demands being made for back debts but am not considering these at present. 13402.
