I recommend that Mr. Woodcock, acting
Deputy Registrar and Accountant, draw of the lapsing pay of the
Deputy Registrar and Appraiser so long as the present half-day
arrangement lasts. My grounds are as follows:-
(a). Mr. Melbourne cannot do more than of the work,
especially as he is sometimes detained at the
Magistracy. Mr. Woodcock is doing the greater
part of the other half. I have been doing some
of it but I find that I cannot continue to do so
and I have passed it to Mr. Woodcock. This will
probably necessitate his working overtime.
(b). When Mr. Woodcock is the only Deputy in the
office he often has to work at high pressure.
This seems almost equivalent to overtime.
