January, 1901.

I have the honour to forward for

your consideration the enclosed copy of a letter of the

Honourable Director of Public Works regarding the appoint-

ment of a surveyor in the Public: Works' Department.

3. Mr B. W. ́Grey is a useful and

efficient offiser: and, as there is no officer available,

who is better fitted for road-tracing and such work in the

New Territory,' I recommend that he should be added perma-

nently, to the staff of the Public Works Department at a

salary of $2400. per annum,

The appointment which Mr Grey holds,

though designated for many years past in the Estimates as

that of temporary surveyor. " has been a permanent one: and

I therefore submit that it is advisable to appoint the

officer holding it to the permanent- staff of the Public

Works Department.

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your most obedient

humble servant,

Henry Adhake
