Mr. Wylie was born at Pukekohe and joined the Government Insurance Department in Wellington in 1595. He came to Auckland as a cadet in the same Department but in 1000 returned to Wellington. Seven years later, when the audit office began to increase its staff, he accepted a transfer. After two years as auditor of the revenue branch of the Railway Department, Mr. Wylie was transferred to Auckland as inspector in 1900. He has remained here ever since.
