The Class II Assistant Analysts are at present on the same scale as Class II of the Junior Clerical Service. We consider this inadequate for a trained technical officer and suggest $2,600, rising to $4,000 by $200 annually. The Sampler (a temporary appoint- ment) should continue to receive $3,000 a year.
For the Laboratory Attendants we suggest $252 to $300, and for the Coolie and Messenger $156 to $204, by $12 in each case after 3, 6, 9 and 12 years.
26. SANITARY DEPARTMENT.
139. The salary of the Veterinary Surgeon in 1920 was £600 rising to £800 by £25 annually. In 1925 the maximum of the scale was extended to £1,000 per annum to equal that of a Medical Officer, but was not revised last year. In 1925 an Assistant Veterinary Surgeon was appointed and later granted a scale of £550 rising to £800 by £25 annually. We consider that the Veterinary Surgeon, as head of a sub-department of increasing importance, and sole adviser to Government on veterinary matters, should be on a higher scale. We recommend that he should receive £1,000 per annum rising to £1,200 by £50 annually. The Assistant Veterinary Surgeon's scale should be £650 to £950 by £30 annually.
