- salary up to $4,800. The salary of the Office cannot therefore be compared with that of Harbour Master's in other Colonies who have not these additional duties to perform. Captain Thomsett has during the last 11 months acted also as Magistrate in the Police Court in the place of ... Stewart. It was the best arrangement that could be made at the time, but it is not one that I could recommend to be made permanent as I am of opinion that the Harbour Master has quite enough to do. There is no doubt that a considerable amount both of extra trouble and responsibility will be thrown upon him in subordination of the Marine Survey Branch to his department.
6. Should Your Lordship approve of my recommendations by the Surveyor General, the expenditure of the Marine Survey Branch will be increased from $4,806 to $7,806. This does not include the increase that it may be decided to give to Captain Thomsett. The annexed statement shows the details.
