Compensation; and that Mr. Xavier is not eligible to come

under the Sterling Salary Scheme because he is not an Officer

who, having a domicile in a country with a Gold Standard, is

entitled to Exchange Compensation.

At present, therefore, he receives only his salary

of $2,400 without any allowance except for travelling.

His last increase was in 1901, when his salary was

raised from $1,800 to its present amount of $2,400 and in

view of the fact that he has 15 years' service and that the

most junior Engineer, Mr. Carpenter, would at £216 be drawing

$2,592 per annum at the present rate of exchange, I recommend

that from the 1st. January next Mr. Xavier should be permitted

to draw the maximum salary of his appointment namely $3,000

per anmmm .

I have

the honour to be,

Siri

Your most obedient

Humble servant,

Henry Attare

Governor, &0..
