Telegraph Line Neglected

(2) An officer named Ch'eng-yun, it charge of the Mao-hsing post station in Tsi-tsi-har, was entrusted with the care of part of a telegraph line in process of construction last year. He, however, neglected his work in such a way as almost to entail very serious consequences. He was therefore removed from his post and brought to the provincial headquarters in order that he might be under the supervision his superiors. Since then he has made amends by performing in a very satisfactory manner whatever official duties were entrusted to him. It is therefore requested that he may be allowed to return to his original appointment.—Approved.
