Wor {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} 5/M15/10/26 At the request of the Administration, and on account of grave slackness of trade, I am instructed to consider every item of expenditure, with a view to reduction. You are, of course, well aware of the drastic reductions that are taking place in the Works. 60% of the whole of the Works is disappearing, and I shall be glad if you can kindly consider your departments as to what reductions you can make, and advise me.
