At a 1/11 dollar the cost would therefore be approximately
$377,000
At a 2/0 dollar the cost would therefore be approximately
$326,000
At a 2/1 dollar the cost would therefore be approximately
$272,000
If the scale above set out is adopted, it would be possible
to abolish the remittance privileges to which I have referred in paragraph 8 above, as officers at present in receipt thereof would obtain additions to salary of about 14 times the amounts which they at present draw under the
remittance scheme.
