II. The following correspondence re Recruiting Licenses is read 



The Supt. of Indian Immigrants. 



Penany, January JJ+th 100S. 



Sir, 



The wording of two of the rules made under the Indian Immi- 

 gration Funds Enactment was the subject of some discussion at the 

 last meeting of this Association. 



1. At present Kangany recruiting licenses are only obtainable 

 from you, Sir, although your duties may at any time call you away 

 from Penang. In that case, a Kangany might be kept a week in 

 Penang, waiting to obtain your signature ; and I may add, that such 

 a case has just happened. 



But even if the Kangany should find you in office the day he 

 arrives in Penang, the fact remains, that you may refuse to ratify the 

 license pending further enquiries ; which of course would again mean 

 delay of a week at the least.
