These matters will form the basis of representations to be made by the Association to Sir Samuel Wilson, the Dew Governor, soon after his arrival bere.
It is learnt that among the questions to be dealt with are the Super Tax, to the continuation of which the Association has always been opposed; the necessity of extended Irrigation and the conservation of water supplies; the repeal of the existing water law; the development of Jamaica as a tourist resort; the matter of the telephone system, with provision for its extension over the island; the practical amending of the shop assistants law so as to pre.
