I have the honour to report that with a view to supplementing the very inadequate accommodation of the General Post Office, The Right Honourable Joseph Chamberlain, M.P., has recently selected a Police Constable (at $18600 per year) for this responsible post, and that in 5103/95 they selected another Police Constable for another Senior post in the Post Office, over the heads of all the Junior Clerks.

I should like to suggest that the Salary should only start at $1000, the commencing salary, as proposed at Retrenchment-Report, for this J f.XLV Head of Supt. of Money Order Office? Also, in approving the reduction in Local Delivery Postmen, should we not add that Sec. of State trust when Opportunity arises, the other reductions in that Branch recommended in par. 33 of Retrenchment Report will not be overlooked? Also ask whether this arrangement to accommodation at the Post Office is intended to be permanent & in Substitute for the proposed new building for the Office referred to in S.W.9.14/12.
