Next month, I understand, Mr, Edward Bowler, C. E,, formerly Acting Surveyor General, and at present Engineer in charge of the Reclamation Works, will retire from the Civil Service. Mr. Bowdler, who was for many years in Mauritius inthe Public Works Department, came here about 29 years ago, and during his long residence has only been absent for short periods, never taking long leave, He has a cbarmin, house and garden at the Peak, and though he retires from public life he intends to remain in the island which he has so long made his home. Among some other works erected by him is the Breakwater. at Causeway Bay, and the new Bund will always be associated with his name. The Hon. R. D. Ormsby will take over the Reclamation work. 3
