requisitions for uniform items, and requisitions were approved according to scale 

 of issue. Included in the estimates for the coming fiscal year must be an accurate 

 estimate of funds required for the uniform programme. An application for each 

 item of uniform was sent to the manufacturer together with measurement chart. 

 Constantly changing problems such as size, fit and type, of individual require- 

 ments had to be resolved. 



6. Records. Records pertinent to all Crown Lands of the province were con- 

 trolled through the Records Office. Assembly, indexing and classification of all 

 incoming correspondence, compiling of new files and distribution to the offices 

 in which officials required any particular files, were the main responsibilities of 

 this office. There were approximately 500 files sent out and returned in any 

 given day. Every new letter pertaining to any of 300,000 files was recorded, 

 sent to the pertinent offices for handling, and finally added to the proper file for 

 record. During the current fiscal year, record files up to and including all plans 

 and surveys to the end of 1915 were microfilmed. 



7. Boat Licensing. This subsection was responsible through the Federal De- 

 partment of Transport for the processing of applications for licences for all de- 

 partment boats. Some marine units of the department required only a licence 

 number, and others required registration showing home port, tonnage, dimensions, 

 etc., depending on the specifications of the marine unit in question. Specifications 

 of the boats supplied to this section were used to prepare the necessary applica- 

 tions for licences including tonnage, etc. 



8. Special Assignments. Because of the nature of the work, there was almost 

 a daily demand for services where immediate action and organization were re- 

 quired.
