House Allowance,of course,will be drawn by him until such time as the New Past Office is built, and the necessary Quas-

ters for the Senior Clerk provided therein.

3. No.1. The Accountant should be a res-

ponsible and highly efficient man, and in my opinion, should

rank in the office next to the Senior Clerk. The proposadka-

lary is $160, but I would suggest for consideration, that it

should rise by yearly increments te $200 per month, for then

it would be the means of keeping a good man in the same ple

which is essential.

4. No.2. The Superintendent of the Mor-

ey Order Office should, for the reasons advanced above like-

wise be entitled to rise to a maximum salary of $ 200. The

extra allowance mentioned as drawn by this officer is only

drawn so long as he assists in performing the Assistant Post-

master-General's duties.

5. No.3. The Superintendent of the Re- Office gistration Branch is new entitled (1...when confirmed by the

Secretary of State) to $150 per month, and I would recommend

that he be granted this salary as from the 1st.January 1900,

and that the maximum salary be fixed at $180. I do not see

any objection to the withdrawal of the House Allowance of $15 per month, which I may state was recommended when this fice was filled by a European, whom the high wentals affected in amanner impossible to the present superintendent, who is a

local man,

6. No.4.5.6.7.and 8. None of these office

ers call for any special remark,
