Taking into consideration Mr Gerrard's long work which will be entailed upon him by the Births and Death, and Marriage service and the increased work under the new Ordinances, I would beg to recommend that his salary be increased by one hundred pounds a year.

Mr Gerrard has been 16 years in the Service and is at present in receipt of £400 a year as first Clerk.
