ending with my Despatch No. 288 of the 22nd. November last

it was decided that Mr. C. H. Gale, the most Senior Officer

for promotion, who was then on his maximum salary of

$3,600, the equivalent of £540, should be allowed to draw

a sterling salary of £600. It has, however, been brought

to my notice that Mr. Gale was wrongly given to understand,

shortly before he went on leave, that the above quoted

dollar salary was personal to Mr. Boulton and Mr. Tooker,

the two Senior Executive Engineers, and it would seem

probable that it was on this understanding that he asked

for a sterling salary.

This being the case I would recom-

-mend that he should be allowed to revert to a dollar

salary and to succeed Mr. Boulton upon the latter's present

rate of salary.

If Your Lordship considers this

step to be inadvisable, I propose to create the first of

the four First Grade Executive Engineer Posts, with a

salary of £600 rising to £690 per annum by triennial in-

-crements of £30, which were suggested by Sir M. Nathan

in a minute, dated the 5th, June last, addressed to Mr.

Fiddes, and to offer this post to Mr. Gale upon a commenc-

-ing salary of £630.
