Memorandum to the Honourable Ralph Chetwynd

I enclose the list of Returning Officers which is to be attached to the Order-in-Council you have.

As I am not certain of the name for Fort George I have left it out. The first man we had last year died and W. G. Fraser, Election Clerk, took his place. Perhaps the Premier could insert the name, please.

One other point, I was told by Mr. Black to make Mr. R. M. Minn, who was the former Returning Officer for Vancouver-Burrard, a kind of supervising Returning Officer for the Greater Vancouver area, to more or less oversee and instruct the other Returning Officers. The election act does not provide for supervising Returning Officers. Therefore I have not included his name on this list, but there is no reason whatever why he cannot be given this position. As far as I can see I could instruct him to act as such.
