the present their actual wages

start them from

your 1878

of $60 per month, with a

yearly

increment of $4 to the monthly

wages until

after 10 years

wages of $100

per

month shall have been attained.

The man's prospective pay would therefore stand thus: -

in 1878 monthly wages of $60 # A 1879 $64 1882 $76 1883 $80 1887 $100 1886 $96 1887 $100 " H $68 " $72 $76 "

Although the work of

Overseers with ten years' experience

will certainly be worth more to the Government than $100, as

compared with that of men

with only

a few

years'

service at $60,

the increase upon

the $100, and

the scheme does not recommend itself.

At

this point I

may point out

that the climate and the exposure

which their work entails

makes

it highly improbable that

a large

proportion of

these Overseers will ever attain

10

years'

service dating from 1878.

I would however submit as an

amendment to Mr. Bowdler's

proposal
