It should be understood that in

the absence on leave of the Crown Solicitor the Land

Officer should act for him.

As I propose a higher salary than

the Land Officer draws, these acting appointments will in a

measure compensate the Land Officer for extra work imposed

upon him. Extra work will also fall on the Official Re-

-ceiver. The latter is in any case a very important post,

and I consider that it should

for this double reason be

raised to the second class.

It is necessary that the Crown

Solicitor should have a capable interpreter and, on the

assumption that the time of the Interpreters and Clerks

in the Land Office as at present constituted is fully

occupied, the additional Staff shewn in the attached

schedule will in my opinion be necessary.

The salary of the Crow Solicitor

should in my opinion be not less than £900

£1,080 the

sterling equivalent of the salary of a First Class poat

on the dollar basis.

In the schedule I have inserted

an estimate for the furnishing of the Crown Solicitor's

Office
