-mended by Commander Basil Taylor, for the redistribution of
work in the Harbour Office which resulted in a net saving of
$1,637 per annum, Commander Taylor informed me at the time
that he was not entirely satisfied with this re-distribution
of the work, but that it was the best he could do under the
circumstances. He added "for one thing I can vouch which is
