The Telegraph Service, under whose administration lies not only the
care of the ordinary wire-telegraph system, and that of the plants for
wireless telegraphy which is not under the management of the Army or

State Telephone Service, is not an independent Government Department,

the date mentioned, has formed a branch of the Civil (Home)
Department. The Royal Telegraph Board consists of a chief, with the title of
Director-General, with the sole right of deciding matters, and three

un-established officials, inclusive, since 1909, of an officer who has been
appointed the military adviser of the Board.
