Nevertheless I would not attach so much consequence to this latter point, if the Treasurer had not himself early warned the Executive of the difficulty of his position. This is apparent because whilst the Collection of rates devolved on his Department on the 2nd July 1863 he lost no time in representing on the 3rd of that month the peculiar position in which he was placed by the large amount then uncollected viz:- $22,762, the collection of which he argued would occupy the whole time of the old Staff then transferred to his department. Consequently he requested some temporary extra aid to enable him to keep abreast of the accruing work.
