1.

4. The salary of a First Class Inspector, as

provided in the Estimates for 1901, is $1200 rising to $1368

by $66 yearly: but the Committee appointed to consider the sa-

laries of subordinate officers recommended that their sala-

ries should be increased to $1440 rising to $1560, and, acting

on the assumption that these rates would be approved, the Sa-

nitary Board further suggested that 3 Senior Inspectors" should

be obtained from home at a salary of $1800 rising to $2040 per

annum, in lieu of the 3 First Class Inspectors" for whom va-

cancies exist, and that a 2nd. Class Inspectorship,now vacant,

should be abolished.

5. If these recommendations are approved, a pro

tanto alteration will be necessary in the Estimates, viz., for

***

8 First Class Inspectors at $1200 (= $9,600), and 8 Second Class

Inspectors at $960 (= $7,680), involving a total annual expen-

diture of $17,280; there will be substituted 3 Senior Inspec-

tors at $1800 ( $6,400),5 First Class Inspectors at $1200

(= $6,000), and 7 Second Class Inspectors at $960 ( = $6,720),

involving a total annual expenditure of $18,120. The increase

in the Estimates will therefore amount to a sum of $840 per

annum, which is trifling in comparison with the great increase

in the efficiency of the staff of the Sanitary Board result-

ing from these alterations.

I have the honour to he,

Sir,

Your most obedient

Humble Servant.

Strong

GOVERNOR,&C.,
