CO129-334 - Governor Nathan - 1906 [5-7] — Page 51

Enclosure 2.

For the present it is proposed that the Accountant should

be paid on the lower of the above scales and that the

Senior Clerk should remain outside the scheme,

8.

I annex a table showing the

effect of the proposed alterations on the Estimates for

1907. If these were calculated on the same basis of 1 s.

8 d. to the dollar as the Estimates for the current year

they would show an increase of $1,734. As however they

will be made out on a 2 shilling basis there will be a

decrease of $326. There will of course be an increase on

the amounts that will actually have been paid to the

officers this year.

9.

I have the honour to request

Your Lordship's authority to offer the Sterling salaries

I have proposed in paragraphs 2, 3, and 6 above to Messrs.

Reed, Dixon, and Kaye and, if they accept, to make pro-

-vision for these salaries as well as for those proposed

in paragraph 5 for Messrs. Martin and Savage in the

Estimates for 1907.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

כי

Mnation

Governor,&c. .
