was

Sir G. William Des Vaux of opinion that a salary of $2,500 is not adequate for an officer performing the responsible duties of Assessor, especially when it is considered how largely the Revenue of the Colony benefits by the vigilance and honesty of a trustworthy incumbent of the post.

Your Lordship will see from the above that the statements contained in Mr Chapman's letter to the Acting Treasurer, a copy of which I enclose, dated July 12, 1890, are not quite accurate inasmuch as the increase from $2,500 to $3,600 was originally made with reference to Mr Hooper, and afterwards on the grounds I have above alluded to.

These reasons certainly seem to me much more plausible than those mentioned by Mr Chapman.
