IT MAY TO

I have the honour to bring to the notice of

Government certain increases which have taken place in my

duties and responsibilities since I first accepted my present

appointment nine years ago, and to base thereon an application

for an increase of salary.

The only increases I have had have been (a)

my two stipulated increments of $300 a year after three years

(b) a temporary allowance of $50 a month for eight months in the

year for controlling the Technical Institute, (c) an allowance

of $300 annually for controlling Queen's College is in lieu

of the fee of $300 formerly given to the Head of the Education Department (but not as of right) in his capacity of one of the

Independent Examiners of the College.

The increase in the work and responsibility

which has taken place since I was appointed Inspector of Schools

can be conveniently shewn in parallel colurns.
