quarters. On the other hand Mr. Ross has since the 2nd, ~

ultimo reverted to his pay as Passed Cadet.

5.

Hitherto no Cadet, whether passed

or unpassed, has been required to act in the New Territori-

-os on his cadet's pay only; and, as I am of opinion that

the present is one of the special cases contemplated in

the second paragraph of Mr. Chamberlain's Despatch No. 247

of the 3rd. July, 1903, I recommend that Mr. Ross should

be given an alimentary allowance at the rate of $100 per

mensen with exchange compensation from the 2nd. ultimo

until such date as pay of Assistant Land Officer is avail-

-able, viz.:- the date on which the Public Health and

Buildings Amending Bill becomes law and Mr. Messer is

appointed Head of the Sanitary Department.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

Mangaich

Governor,
