Mr Johnson.

I have noted

Macey for the promotion. The case

put before

Cat at once. 20 Dec

and this Monday.

It will be convenient here to consider the question of the successor of Mr Lockhart as Police Ladet, but the first thing is to decide the sterling salary of the post since if it is not filled from within the Colony, it has been decided to put it on

sterling basis. The present pay $1000, in

double exchange compensation is

rather more

than £1600, but the

Colonial Secretary gets $24000

to more than

£1600, and the question is

going

to make the starting salary fully up to the

level of the Colony salaries or

keep them at

a slightly

lower level.

I am very much on the whole I think we should fix

the salary of Police Ladet at

£1600.
