Conclusion. I have to express my appreciation of the willing and efficient service rendered to me by officers of the Department at all times under conditions calling for sustained effort and frequently under extreme pressure of urgency. I desire also to acknowledge with gratitude the valuable assistance rendered by other Government Departments throughout the year.
