With xwg further reference to the interview
granted me today, I would request that you will kindly forward
this application for an increase of salary to the Government.
I have to point out that I served an
apprenticeship for three years in England, and was engaged as
Assistant Engineer on some constructional works before I
accepted the appointment which I now fi These works have cost
over £150,000 and wore nearly completed during the time I was
engaged on them.
On joining this Department I was given to
understand, perhaps erroneously, that promotions were made as
far as possible from the staff in the Department. Since my
appointment however several posts have become vacant, and have
been filled from England or outside the Department. I beg to
draw attention especially to a few cases;-
(1). the vacancy caused by Mr. Heggerd in this office.
(11). the appointment of an Assistant Engineer for the
Harbour of Refuge.
(111). several appointments of Surveyors in the Land
Survey Office.
There were no doubt many good and sufficient
reasons for these appointments being made, but I respectfully beg to point out that, to one not fully acquainted with the facts of the case, it is very disheartening, after having worked hard in the Department, very frequently out of office hours, to
have men promoted over one's head. The question of overtime was
recognised last year by the Government, which granted me a temporary rise in salary for five months. This however coasod
at the beginning of the year.

In addition I beg to point out that the salary of £120 per annum is not sufficient to live on in this
