Assistant Surveyors appears to me to be too low to attract
the best class of candidates and I recommend therefore that after three years on £500 these officers should have their salaries increased by annual increments of £20 to £650, provided that the sole reason for their not being promoted is the non-occurrence of vacancies.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
B. E. States.
Governor, &c.
