Question 4. Para. 11.

If however duties are re-arranged;

books and forms revised with a view to

economise clerical work, all Mr. Fercebois'

recommendations can be carried out.

One European Clerk is necessary not two.

The present Clerk appears to have slight

clerical duties, his work beyond that of

passing emigrants, is chiefly supervisory. If he is not a supervisor he has insufficient

work.

The charge is justified in so far that Mr.

Percebois' remarks apply more or less to

every office in the Colony. The clerks at

the Harbour Office are no worse than else-

-where.

The charge appears to be justified. The

matter is a trivial one.

Facts seem to justify the charge, but here

again the practice is universal throughout

the Colony and most difficult to stop

except by effective European supervision. We agree that as a general rule, the best practice is to call upon clerks to take ther

turn for overtime without extra remuneration

but we do not agree that this should be com-

-pensated by granting leave during ordinary

working hours. In this case however the

amount of extra pay involved is not great.
