-red, he will be in a more responsible position and will
be required to furnish security, I concur in the Acting
Postmaster-General's recommendation that this salary
should be increased to $1,680.
If this recommendation is approved,
there will be a vacancy in the General Office for a
clerk at a salary of $1,560 per annum. This vacancy it
is proposed not to fill, but instead to appoint a new
Indian speaking clerk at a salary of $720 per annum. The
total increase in the yearly expenditure will therefore
be a sum of $840, necessitating a pro tanto alteration
in next year's estimates.

To maintain the efficiency of the
+
Post Office it will be necessary to adopt the recommend-
ations of the Committee, I have therefore the honour
to request your sanction for the additional expenditure
which will be involved. The cost of enlarging the premises
is estimated at less than $500 and will be charged
against the vote for Miscellaneous Works.

The proposed salaries have been
included in the scheme now being drawn up for the classi-
fication of the salaries of subordinate Officers.
I have the honour to be,
sir.
Your most obedient
Humble servant,
Henry Artike
Governor, &C..
