COMMISSIONER MAY RETIRE Among the doings at Ottawa of in- terest in this district during the past week is the unanimous report of the Special House of Commons Commit- tee, tabled in Parliament Tuesday, Which recommends re -organization of the Civil Service Commission, Retire- ment of Hon. W. J. Roche, chairman, now 70 yearsof age, to whose public service tribute is paid; and of Com- mis'sionens Newton McTavish and J. Emile Trembley, is the leading recom- mendation.

Abolition of the section of the Civil Service Act providing for absorption of private secretaries to former Ministers into the service at $3,120 per year is another recommen- dation.
