increasing the emoluments of an Officer while at work in

the Colony will deter Officers from taking leave of very

long duration. I have accordingly adopted it in the re-

In the 9th. paragraph of my Des-

40.16016/10

-patch No. 148 of the 29th. of April last, I suggested

16016/10

that a new Class IV should be formed with a scale of salary

of £420 rising to 2500 by £40 triennially. As, however,

the number of posts to be placed in this new class is like-

-ly to be very small, it is preferable to lower the initial

salary of Class III, which will thus comprise the proposed

Class IV, with a small annual increment of £20 which will

enable an officer to reach his maximum in 8 years. The

recommendations, therefore, I have to make are as follows:-

1st. Class £800 to £1,000 by £100 triennially

with duty pay of £150.

2nd. Class £600 to £720 by £40 triennially

with duty pay of £120.

3rd. Class £400 to £560 by £20 annually

with duty pay of £100.

The financial effect, in the total

of the minima and maxima salaries of the posts concerned,

let

of these proposals as compared with the existing scale and

the scale proposed in my Despatch under reference is shown

in the enclosure.
