I have the honour to address you on the subject of the salary of Mr. Craig, Asst. Supt. of Victoria Gaol.
This officer was originally appointed as Chief Warder of the Gaol, and assumed the duties of that post in 1895. In 1899 when the post of Superintendent of the Gaol was amalgamated with that of Capt. Supt. of Police Mr. Craig was appointed Assistant Supt. of the Gaol with a salary of $2400 a year rising to $3000 and free quarters, and he was allowed to draw the maximum pay of the post from 1st January 1902. With the exception to be presently mentioned he has received no addition to his pay since his appointment to his present office, although other officers of similar standing to himself in the service whose pay was then the same as his, are now drawing considerably more than he, and some others who then drew less now get the same as he or more.
For instance the maximum salaries of the Asst. Harbour Master and Executive Engineers, which were then $3000, are now $540 and $3600 respectively. Again the salaries of the Asst. P.M.G., the Govt. Analyst and the Treasury Cashier which were then $2400, have been increased to $540, $3000 & $3000 respectively. In 1903 a special allowance of $600 a year was granted to him for managing the printing department in the Gaol. But this allowance is paid to whoever is actually in charge of the work. Mr. Craig derives no benefit from it when on leave, and it is not pensionable. I strongly recommend that instead of this allowance an increase be made in the substantive salary of the post.

received no addition to his pay since his appointment to his
present office, although other officers of similar standing
to himself in the service whose pay was then the same as his,
are now drawing considerably more than he, and some others
who then drew less now get the same as he or more.
For

£540 and $3600 respectively. Again the salaries of the Asst.
P.M.G., the Govt. Analyst and the Treasury Cashier which were
