May's proposal (23743) that the P.C.M.O. should not be loved by the appt., but presumably be agreed.
141. As to the officer proposed for the app, it is a new app M. Me. I. Messen (salary $3600). Assistant Land Office
The alternative candidate land M. S. R. Hallifax (asst. Superintendent, Police & Prison Dept). Salary $2400 to $3000 & quarters.
For the sort of man required See Sir M. Nathan's minute of 18/4/07. (enclosure 10 to 23273).
I don't think that the matter should be delayed.
Dr Antrobus I agree with Mr Stübbs

as to (2), I don't think we trouble. Dollar offices need are always unpaid but it is too late to support that practice.
I am inclined to approve, but by Pal: lut are 43 amcit ment to the section of hart sh. seems to need 163 whi Sury presume & endorse bothay's recommendation of her Merser, who is since the Halligat. She is of bliss a good officer but suffered badly from "smilled head"
