tendent, Botanical and Af

af.

an

forestation Department, in " which he applies for

of salary

increase

se allowance.

2.

The

and hou.

application has

arrived too late for compli- ance with it during 1899 be as the estimates

ing possible have already gone forward.

3.

I see no

increasing

objection to

Mr Jutcher's hou_

se allowance to $50 a month

from

the 12th January 1900, as it is almost impossible for

him to secure accommoda- tion suited to a married

European for $30 a month.

If

you approve of this increase, it will appear

the Estimates for 1900.

4.

I

in

cannot advise that

be increased

Mr Jutcher's

as

salary

his position

in this res-

way differs from other officers -

peat in no that of many

in the service.
