lose #420 or 12 per cent of his pay.

The anomaly of this reduction is brought prominently into notice in the cases of two Police Magistrates, one with 23 years' service the other with seven.

The senior, losing the right to remit, obtains only an actual increase of 22 per cent, whilst the junior, both drawing the same pay, obtains an absolute increase of 35 per cent.

The Superintendent of the Botanical and Afforestation Department would incur loss of #29 a year.

The Captain Superintendent of Police starting with a nominal increase of 35 per cent, receives in effect, owing to the abolition of his personal allowance for long service, and the right to remit, an increase of only 9 per cent.
