SURVEY EXAMINATIONS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW ZEALAND MAIL. Sir, —Could you state through your valuable columns if a Chief Surveyor is allowed by law to examine his own son, who has been working in the office uuder him and living in his house, and pass him as an assistant-surveyor 1 I ask because I am told that such a thing has happened in a neighbouring province, and that the Chief Surveyor there examined and passed his own son. If this is true, and I have no reason to doubt my informant’s words (he told me no later than yesterday), then is it not possible for partiality to be shown to the detriment of others. What wa3 thereto prevent the father giving the son' a rehearsal of all the questions he was to be asked, and so cram him 1 ? I should like some member of the House to ventilate this subject.—l am, etc., • Lux. Wellington, June 28th.
