II. The following correspondence rc Recruiting Licenses is read 
The Supt. of Indian Immigrants. 
Penang , January 24-th 1908 . 
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. 
I. 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 m 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.
