Lordship's decision I have allowed him to draw $45 per
mensem as house allowance to compensate him for such loss.
The duties and responsibilities of the Superintendent of
Imports and Exports are very much greater than those of
Second Assistant Registrar-General (Mr. Tratman's subs-
-tantive post) and I do not think it reasonable to expect
Mr. Tratman to undertake the work for a less sum than I
have mentioned. This is a point that was not settled by
Sir F. Lugard before he left, but I have little doubt that
he would endorse my recommendation since he originally
recommended that the appointment should be rated in Class
II (2600 to £720). I venture to express the opinion that
eventually it will be found desirable to so rate it as
is
there is no doubt that it'a post of great and increasing
A
responsibility.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
Amaz
Officer Administering the Govern-
➡ment.
