Judge Byron S. Ambler will be visiting Washington, D.C., with the intention of pursuing an appointment to the Supreme Court of the Philippines. Governor General Taft recommends that President Roosevelt avoid making any comments that Ambler might interpret as a promise to appointment him, as he believes there are other judges more suitable for the appointment. Finally, he describes his current location in Benguet and offers ideas for the area’s development.
