Minule by the Director of Public Works 5 NOV 321

Hon: Colonial Secret_ry,

I am bound to say considering Mr. Prosser's qua- lifications and the fact that he received no increase of

salary when the salaries of other officers were increased

and is now arawing a Salary ($1800 ) less than the Assist-

ant Engineers, Messrs. Drury and Gibbs ($2400 and $2100 res. pectively) whose ages and experiences are not superior to those of Mr. Prosser that I think his request is not unrea-

sonable, and further previous to Mr. Prossers appointment

his predecessor Mr. Sampson received a salary of $2520 per

annum,

I am of opinion a salary of $2040 per annum is

not excessive for the auties he perform.

11th May 1892.

(Su.) F. A. Cooper,

Director of Public Works.
