At present the Postmaster draws as under:-

Salary. Good Conduct Pay. 1 Postman at.. $324 1 1 do. 180 2 Postmen 144 each 4 do. 132 10 do. 120 plus $12 each. 28 do. 120 22 Messengers 120Instead of grading the men as in the Police I would strongly recommend the extension of the "Good Conduct Pay" and give every man with three years' service and a good record $1 a month, and after two further years an additional $1 a month. This would work out as follows:-
1905.
Salary. Good Conduct Pay. 1 Postman.. $336 1 do. 180 2 Postmen. 144 each 4 do. 132 10 do... 120 plus $12 each. 1 Postman.. $348 14 do. 120 plus $12 each.1906.
Salary. Good Conduct Pay. 2 Postmen. 144 each 4 do. 132 10 do. 120 plus $24 each. 14 do. 120 plus $12 each. 10 do. 126 10 do. 120 22 do. 120The advantage of this scheme is that it encourages postmen to work well as they know that the increase depends on themselves, and if a postman of some standing gets into trouble deserving punishment it can be inflicted by withholding his Good Conduct Pay for one or more months, whereas if he draws a certain increment he is less easily dealt with.
