Junior Clerical Service who show special fitness for
undertaking more responsible duties.
Officers of this class at present in the Service are Messrs. Reed, Dixon (Class. I) and Lang (Class III),
and I consider that it is not desirable to close this door
to promotion to similar officers in future.
I would however provide equivalent dollar salaries for
such officers hereafter appointed thus bringing them under
the General Orders which apply to local officers in the
matter of leave regulations.
9. On the assumption that these recommendations
will be accepted I am making provision accordingly in the
Estimates for 1929, now being framed, and I shall be glad
if I may be informed by telegram if the proposals are not accepted in any point which affects the Estimates.
10. I am reluctant to put forward any proposals
involving revision of salaries pending the appointment of
the Commission for which Sir Cecil Clementi has sought your
approval, and I consider that the whole question of the rates of pay of the Senior Clerical and Accounting Staff and of the Special Appointments for which its officers are eligible should in any case be reviewed by the proposed Commission. The adjustments now proposed, however, appear to be of sufficient immediate importance to justify their
adoption pending consideration of the general question.

I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,
M.D. Southor.
Officer Administering the Government.
