DESIRABLE, SUCH REPORT SHALL ALSO BE FORWARDED
TO THE COMMISSIONER WITH THE AFFIRMATIVE RECOM-
MENDATIONS OF THE BOARD OF THE MANNER IN WHICH
THE MATTER CONSIDERED MAY BE CORRECTED OR IM-

INTEREST OF THE DEPARTMENT AND WILL MORE PROP-
ERLY OR EFFICIENTLY PROVIDE FOR CONSIDERATION
AND EVALUATION OF THE SUGGESTIONS AND PROBLEMS
