less than $48.00." respectively
 President : Have you got any recommendations to make about this Mr.

Mr. Brisbane and Mr. Hadley may be able to tell you.
 Honourable O. D. Brisbane : We worked out a formula about those figures of
the Trinidad section.
 Superintendent of Works : We decided to halve it, taking into consideration
the general economic standard of the community.
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney: I can tell you off-hand that in the
Regulations you reduced 60 cents to 50 cents.
 Superintendent of Works : But I think in this particular instance it has
been halved.
 President : What happened in the case of Section 28(2) ?
 Superintendent of Works : That was halved too.
 President : Can we accept twenty-four dollars in Section 22?
 Honourable O. D. Brisbane : The amount was really twenty-four dollars.

but the last figure in the previous line should be $250,000.
 Superintendent of Works : That is a subsequent error of the printers.
