At the same time I do not think that any permanent Clerk in the Colonial Secretary's Office should draw a salary of less than $100 a month. A general level of capacity is essential in the subordinate staff of that office and any Clerk whose services are not worth $100 a month is not, in my opinion, qualified for permanent appointment in that office. I recommend, therefore, that the Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Clerks in the Colonial Secretary's Office should be placed ultimately in the fourth class of the subordinate Civil Service with salaries of $1,200 rising to $1,500 by $60 biennially. But again I do not recommend that these increases should take effect immediately.
10. Anticipating that you would concur in the opinion that the appointment of three additional Clerks is indispensable, I directed the Colonial Secretary to take steps to select suitable candidates for the post. The candidates selected are Mr. R. Pestonji, Mr. F. Rapp and Mr. E. H. Elias.
11. Mr. Pestonji has had already 3 years' experience as Clerk in the Sanitary Department from which he has been transferred. I recommend that he should be permanently appointed Seventh Clerk in the Colonial Secretary's Office and placed at once in the 4th Class of the classification scheme.
12. Messrs. Rapp and Elias were selected from among 24 candidates who responded to an advertisement in the Government Gazette notifying that a vacancy existed in the Colonial Secretary's Office for a temporary Clerkship at a salary of $50 monthly, the engagement being terminable at a month's notice on either side. Both are young men, Mr. Rapp being 17
