WADE-CRIFFITH ENQUIRY. [By Electric 'Telegraph—Copyright ; [United Press Association.] fi' (Received 9.45 a.m.) Sydney, October 1.
The Commissioner is empowered to enquire whether Mr Griffith, in his administration of the Public Works Department was guilty of any dishonest or dishonorable conduct in connection with the construction of the city railway, the Banks town railway, certain tram extensions, and land purchase at Uhr’s Point, but the Mediow land purchase, one of Mr AVade’s charges, is excluded. Mr Holman, in announcing the appointment to the Assembly, said the Commission fully embraced every charge against Mr Griffiths regarding the administration of his Department. If other charges were made, the scop. 1 would be widened to embrace them later.
Mr Wade moved the adjournment of the Assembly, and complained of the elusion of the Medlow charge. A warm debate followed, wherein the Government’s action was severely attacked. Eventually the closure was applied. The Council passed a three million’ railway loan Bill.
