Sir Matthew Nathan was not prepared to put forward proposals for a new scale of Sterling Salaries for Executive Engineers, but he intimated that as it was not possible to retain good Executive Engineers in the ordinary way with the present scale of salaries a recommendation should be addressed to Your Lordship to the effect that the four Executive Engineers on Sterling Salaries should be allowed to draw their maxima (£600 per annum) from the 1st of January, 1908.

The four Officers are all most capable and industrious and have charge of very important works; especially is the latter statement applicable to Mr. Jaffe who has carried out the extensive water-works under his charge with great satisfaction to the Director of Public Works and who is at present employed on the preparation of plans for the proposed new storage reservoir at Tytam Tuk.

examples of the unfavourable comparison that can be drawn

between the remuneration of these Executive Engineers and

Sir Matthew Nathan was not prepar-

-ed to put forward proposals for a new scale of Sterling

Salaries for Executive Engineers, but he intimated that

as it was not possible to retain good Executive Engineers

in the ordinary way with the present scale of salaries a

recommendation should be addressed to Your Lordship to

the effect that the four Executive Engineers on Sterling

Salaries should be allowed to draw their maxima (£600 per

annum) from the lst. of January, 1908.

The four Officers are all most

capable and industrious and have charge of very important

works; especially is the latter statement applicable to

Mr. Jaffe who has carried out the extensive water-works

under his charge with great satisfaction to the Director of

Public Works and who is at present employed on the prepara-

-tion of plans for the proposed new storage reservoir at

Tytam Tuk.
