sir,
We the undersigned petitioners respectfully
beg to bring to your notice, for your favourable consideration, with a view to it being forwarded to the proper quarter, the circumstances under which we are serving in the rank of 3rd. class
Inspectors.
At present we draw the stipulated 3rd. class Inspectors pay, without any extras, and owing to the fact that we are single men we have no opportunity of being placed in positions or Stations where extras are allowed. It has come to our notice that certain 1st. class Inspectors are to draw an allowance at the rate of $12.00 per month, over their stipulated pay. We are placed in the same position as these men are, as regards duty, and it appears to us that unmarried men of the rank of Inspector are being taken at a discount.
When promoted from Police Sergeant to 3rd. class Inspector, it only means an increase of £20 per annum, which is a very small consideration taking to account what is dropped in the way of extras i.e. Fire Brigade, Detective Allowance and Theatre. At present many of the Sergeants are drawing far more money than we are, and the single Sergeants living in a mess can live far cheaper. We do not grudge any allowances which may be given in the way of assistance to married men of the Force, but we do think that it is putting a premium on their services by taking them into consideration without also doing something to assist in keeping up the value of the single men's services at the same standard.
A few years ago the rank of 3rd. class
Inspector
