that he should be given free quarters, his salary being raised accordingly. At the same time, expressing regards.

4. As a result of the surprise that, though Treasurer and Collector of Stamps, I disapprove of a salary of $4800 being assigned to him, continued in office, which appeared to be devoted.

Lord Jimarron disallowed the grant of free quarters to Mr. Lister, held subsequently to be allowed reduced quarters rated free of any rent without reference. Very few remarks were made on the Estimates, an addition being made under "salaries, &c.," it being understood in future that the Treasurer and Collector of Stamps is a single office, distinct and not two offices temporarily combined in one person.

This arrangement will obviate the provision altogether of $8400 entered instead of $5976, which would have been required to be drawn under the old arrangements, and the additional cost of a little over $600 will, I trust, be fully justified by the greater efficiency of administration that will be brought about by the creation of a separate Treasurer's office and Collector of Stamps.

5. I take this opportunity.
