I have the honour to bumbly request that His Excellency

the Governor may be graciously pleased to grant me an increase

of salary, so that it may be at least equal to that of the newly

appointed Medical Officer of Health. In C.S.0. NO.1246/95 regard-

ing the appointment of that officer, Dr. Atkinson, Acting Colonial

Surgeon, wrote: "I submit his salary should not exceed that of

Dr. Lowson's". My present salary is $255- per mensen which will

rise to a maxloum of $280- on November 1st. next, by which time

I will have served here for six years, during the latter two of

which term more than ordinary hard work has fallen to my share.

I have &c.

(sa)

Janes A. Lowson.

Acting Colonial Surgeon.
