Sir,
I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your Despatch No. 186 of the 20th of June, and to transmit to you a nominal list of the Clerks in the Colonial Secretary's Office, showing their present scales of salary and how it is ultimately proposed to bring them within the general classification scheme.

Nor was it considered desirable to increase the salaries of the Clerks concerned merely to bring them within the classification scheme, but to effect the necessary change gradually, as salaries reached the scales prescribed for the various classes, as explained in paragraphs 18 and 14 of the Despatch last referred to.

Sir,

I have the honour to acknowledge the re-

ceipt of your Despatch No. 186 of the 20th, of June, and to

transmit to you a nominal list of the Clerks in the Colonial

Secretary's Office, showing their present scales of salary

and how it is ultimately proposed to bring them within the

general classification scheme.

2.

The question of arranging the Staff of

the Colonial Secretary's Office according to the classifica-

tion scheme was very carefully considered by Sir Henry Blake

before he wrote his Despatch No. 252 of the 10th. of July,

of 1901, and it was not found possible without unduly increasing

salaries to apply the scheme to that Office at that time. Nor

was it considered desirable to increase the salaries of the

Clerks concerned merely to bring them within the classifica-

tion scheme, but to effect the necessary change gradually, as

salaries reached the scales prescribed for the various classes,

as explained in paragraphs 18 and 14 of the Despatch last

referred to.

3.

I may add that, as stated in the 9th, repor

-do paragraph of his Despatch No. 252 of the 10th. July, 1901, Sir

Henry Blake proposed not to appoint any permanent clerk to
