IMPERIAL COMMUNICATIONS
DOMINION MEMBER OF BOARD, By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, July 16. The Prime Minister announces the appointment of Mr. M. B. Esson, second assistant secretary of the General Post Office, as the New Zealand representative on the Imperial Communications Advisory Committee. Mr. Esson, who, during Mr. McNamara’s absence is acting as first assistant secretary, entered the Post and Telegraph service in 1889 as an administrative officer. He has 'been actively connected with telegraph and wireless matters, and is thoroughly familiar with all the circumstances leading to the merger of the cable and wireless interests. His new appointment is an important one from the cable users’ point of view, and it is considered Mr. Esson is well equipped and has the requisite knowledge of the details of cable and wireless communication to enable him to examine thoroughly all the proposals likely to come before the advisory committee. He will retire from the Post and Telegraph service on completing 40 years’ service, and will probably leave for England in November.
