to approximately £250. I would point out, however, that the
recruitment of European Sanitary Inspectors has been suspended
and that Asiatic Sanitary Inspectors are now being engaged at a salary of $1200 to $1800 by annual increments of $100. At present
there are five qualified Asiatic Inspectors while seven more are
on probation in training. As these Asiatics at salaries from $1200 to $1800 replace Europeans at £260 to £430, it will not be
more than two or three years before the extra cost of the new
through-scale for Europeans is out-weighed by a saving on the
cost of the Inspectorate as a whole.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
