:
sir,
243
5th September 1911.
With reference to the Colonial Secretary's letter of the 31st August 1911 received by me after I had written a accep ting the post of Assistant Crown Solicitor I should like to know whether a mistake has not been made as to the Salary mentioned therein.
I was informed that my post was to come under the third Class and that I understood to be £400 to £560 by £20 annually with Duty Pay of £100.
In the letter referred to above I am offered £480 rising to £540 by £40 triennially, the old Scheme, which from the 1st of July has been abolishad. I do not therefore understand the offer,moreover as mine is a billet declared to be eligible for Cadets to which the Scheme is of Salaries dating from the 1st July 1911 is particularly applicable.
I am Sir
Your Obedient Servant

Crown Solicitor.
