Your Lordship will see at once by the above comparison,
that the salary and status of a Land Bailiff up till and
including the year 1903 was in some cases HIGHER THAN THE
ASSISTANT ENGINEERS, was ON A PAR WITH THE SENIOR SURVEYORS
and INFINITELY BETTER THAN THE FIRST CLAGS OVERSEERS.
Your petitioners naturally claim that the duties of
& Land Bailiff at the present time call for better qualifi-
cations,
tact and discretion thɛp was necessary prior to
1903. They therefore maintain that there was no adequate
justification for Government lowering their official status
or reducing their salaries to the level of, say, First Class
Overseer, Sanitary Inspectors and other like subordinate
officers.
Your petitioners, while not aspiring to the salary of
either Engineers or Senior Surveyors, claim the right to be
on, at least, the same grade as Clerks of Work, Drainage Surveyors, Road Surveyors, Senior Overseer, and Senior
Sanitary Inspectors.
The posts of Road Surveyor and Clerk of Works are at the present time being held by men who have been recently
promoted from First Class Overseers, and who are many years
Junior, and whose qualifications cannot compare with those
of your petitioners,
There are only two First Grade Land Bailiffs in the
Government service and they have absolutely no possibility
of promotion to higher grades. Your petitioners feel this position very much, as in all other posts there ię some thing |
to look forward to in this respect.
