sir,
In reply to your Despatch No.68 of
of the 28th. February last referring to the proposed
permanent appointment of Mr. B. W. Grey as Land Surveyor
in the Public Works Department, I have the honour to
state that I m advised by the Acting Director of Public
Works that Mr. Grey's qualifications are not distinctly
superior to those of Mr. Jacob.
2.
I beg, therefore, to submit that, as
Mr. Grey was already receiving $200 a month as a tempora-
ry Officer, the salary of Mr. Grey on his transference
to the permanent Staff be fixed at $175 a month which,
with Exchange Compensation to which, he will be entitled
will bring his molments up to about $219.
I have the honour to be,
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,

Humble servant,
