Gen.Black to 8.of 8

10.05 11 March, 1898

paragraph 2 of my despatch No.141 of the 26th of July:

with regard to the proposed appointment of Mr Craig as

Assistant Superintendent of the Gaol; to my telegram

of the 17th of August in which I have requested you to

forward the draft estimates for 1900 at the earliest

possible date, and to my despatch No.17 of this day's

date.

8. I do not understand why the salary suggested

for this post, viz: $3,500 a year, is the same as that

of the Deputy Superintendent of Police, to whom the

new officer would be subordinate. Moreover, from Mr

May's minute of the 1st July enclosed in your despatch,

it appears doubtful whether even this rate of

salary would be enough to attract an officer of the

Punjab Police.

4. I am expecting to receive a further despatch

of S.to Sir H.Blake from you on the Police Force in continuation of the 20.046 11 Nov. 1898

Sir Blake to S. of 8

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,
