New Post Office Building. Working late at night and on Sundays in preparing plans etc., which should have been prepared by others and finally taking over and finishing the work.

New Law Courts Building. Working late at night, many times until midnight and occasionally until the early hours of morning in order to start the superstructure, in the year 1902, owing to the unsatisfactory state of affairs at that date. Taking over and finally completing the work and acting as Contractor in addition to my other duties.

Working late night after night and into the early hours of morning to complete the accounts, due to methods previously stated, and for which I was not responsible.

The works were carried out by me under most trying conditions which necessitated extraordinary labour as detailed in my letters re New Post Office Buildings and New Law Courts.

Under these circumstances I submit that I ought to have on the above grounds alone a retiring allowance equal to two thirds of my salary viz: two thirds of £630 = £420.
