by the Government as an act of imprudence for the conse-

quences of which they were themselves alone to blame.

Further, our examples had to be chosen from different grades

of the service. Again, as the up-bringing of children is

an ordinary consequence of marriage, we took for our typi-

cal cases officers on their highest increment, on the

supposition that they had married on first reaching their

present appointments; and we have supposed that they have

sach a family of three young children, the increasing cost

of whose later education may be left to the future and sub-

sequent promotion. The types selected by us to answer all

these conditions were (A) the Tead of a Junior Department

-

on a salary of $5,400 with compensation, and (3) a subor-

dinate officer on a salary of £345.

Table A gives what we consider to be a rea-

sonable rate of living for these two officers, together

with explanatdry notes. It also gives the salaries drawn

by them at the present rate of exchange. And if it is

alleged in reply that wehave endeavoured to prove too

much; that were the difference between the necessary and

the actual as great as we represent, open crises must have

occurred as they have not done; to that we reply, they have

been staved off, but in many cases by the most unsatisfact-

ory devices: wives and children have been sent Home, with

no prospect of return; many of us have given up our houses

and sold our belongings, and are living in hotels and

boarding-houses and messes like neither married men nor

bachelors, and some of us have been compelled to abandon

our policies on our lives, as we can prove to Your Pxcel-

lancy,
