Assistant Colonial Secretary,
Mr. Wood has stated his case so fully that
there is little left for me to add. The figures he quotes indicate to some extent, the great increase in the duties and responsibili- -ties of the Department during the period to which he more par- -ticularly alludes.
The designation of Mr. Wood's post was altered from "Office Assistant and Accountant" to "Superintendent of Accounts, Correspondence and Stores in 1900, his salary being then increased from $3,000 to $3,500. The latter amount was equivalent to a sterling salary of £540, but was worth more than that for leave and pension purposes owing to the higher value at which the dollar was reckoned for such purposes.
When the sterling salary scheme was intro-
-duced in 1902, Mir. Wood accepted it and became entitled to the maximum salary attached to his post, namely, £600 per annum,
which he has continued to draw ever since.
There is no promotion open to nim in this
Department nor does there appears to be any prospect of promotion
outside it. His case is therefore, as he points out, a special
one and seems to merit special treatment.
