METEOROLOGICAL OFFICE
(To th» Editor.)
<Sir,—'{What, means this' silence? iJaro no man answer!" says the famous bard. An apparent injustice, unparalloled m the history of our Civil Service/has been doao to our esteemed follow citizen, Mr. D. C. Bates. Ho has been deposed from the control of the Meteorological Office without any reasoni.ble charge against him. Aftersome 2.'; years'faithful and efficient ser™e h» is superseded by an outsider. The niattor has been publicly criticised from one end of New Zealand to tha other. Yon, Sir, have drawn attention! to it in a moderate and well-timed lead. or. Still, there is a, stony silence on; the ifart of those in power. If th« Prime Minister ,hW been misled, he is in my opinion man enough to say «o. ,But he is silent! Dame Rumour is busy and some clear official pronouncement is needed to clear the air.—l am, etc, .... MERCURY. 16th May. .
