Mr. T. R. Evans,
Prominent Commonwealth Official, Dead
The death occurred early this morning of Mr. T, R. Evans, accountant of the Commonwealth Sub-Treasury in Queensland, at the age of 51 years.
Mr. Evans joined the Victorian Public Service in 1899. He was with the Audit Office in Melbourne before transferring to the Treasury, and subsequently he became accountant at
the Sub-Treasury in Adelaide. He had held a similar post in Brisbane about eight years. Mr. Evans served with the A.I.F. for four years, attaining the rank, of captain. His family was well known in the Parkville district of Melbourne and immediately surviving him are his wife and two daughters. His home in Brisbane was at Sword Street, Ascot.
The Public Service Inspector (Mr. R. Anthony), who had known Mr, Evans about 35 years, and who had been associated with him both in Melbourne and Brisbane, said that he had done excellent work for the Treasury over many years and would be a big loss to the department.
