We should be aware that it involves, I think, whether or not to get any part of the Inferior £100 a year.
If he dies, I think the difference between the joy of his substance lost and that of his enough to match which affects is quite considerable.
To avoid the extra trouble, if he does not, he might be allowed an extra £500 as an allowance, out of the lapsing pay. I would not give the full pay of the PMG, as it would be an undesirable precedent.

849575. He is carrying on the department without an assistant Postmaster General.
What does this mean? If it means that he pays an Assistant, it would be letting him draw the likes of this pay, and half of it. But if someone is drawing 1/2 his pay, there is an acting assistant P.M.G. If so, what does it ask for? The full pay of both Assistant P.M.G. and P.M.G. without any assistant P.M.G.?
We had better clear it up.

Sir,
I have the honour to transmit for your information the enclosed copy of a letter from Mr. E. O. Lewis, Acting Postmaster-General, in which he applies for permission to draw the full pay of the Postmaster-General from the date of his appointment to act in that capacity and for so long as it may be necessary for him to continue to do so.
Enclosure
1902 June
It is clear that No. 108 of the Colonial Regulations does not permit of any Officer drawing more than half the pay of each of the two offices, the duties of which he is simultaneously discharging, unless the two offices are in two separate Departments. As, however, there is and can be no claimant for the lapsing salary, and as Mr. Lewis has for several months been performing the arduous duties of Postmaster-General and Assistant Postmaster-General, I am not disposed to refuse his application without having referred it to you for consideration.
The case to which Mr. Lewis apparently refers in the second paragraph of his letter cannot be quoted as a strict precedent, as the circumstances attaching to the
