slight assistance in that branch of Departmental work; on his promotion to the Treasury I was enabled to secure the services of Mr Storey Junior, a young man with admirable testimonials as Surveyor and Draughtsman, calculated in every way to be of much service to the Department, inasmuch as he can prepare many professional papers which an ordinary Clerk cannot, and in the event of any absence of the Surveyor General or the Assistant Surveyor General he could take up a portion of their work, not only in the Office but out of doors also. Under these circumstances and taking into consideration the amount of work to be performed by the Office, I trust His Excellency may approve of Mr Storey's Salary being raised to $100 a month on the understanding that his services out of doors are to be given if necessary.

Mr Storey is at present in the Provisional Establishment at $80 per mensem. On this subject Mr Storey has addressed me a letter which I enclose for His Excellency's consideration.

With regard to the actual Clerical duties in the Department, I may crave reference to the circumstances affecting the disallowance of a temporary Clerk by His Grace
