Mr. Pestonjee's application forwarded for

consideration in connection with next year's Estimates.

I most strongly support his application to be

placed in the Higher Grade for two reasons other than personal

viz.:-

1.

The work is highly responsible and requires a

well trained man and under a new scheme of organization which I

have in mind this clerk will be in charge practically of all

collections of Revenue.

2.

The post is one which requires a man superior

to most of the Higher Grade Clerk in other Departments and if Mir.

Pestonjee were to be transferred (on so-called promotion) I

should have to object most strongly on the ground that his

deveral efficient training for the last seventeen years would be almost

utterly lost to Government.

From a personal point of view my own opinion

of Mr. Pestonjee is that there is no better clerk in the Govern-

-ment Service. For zeal, promptitude and accuracy he cannot be

beaten.

You will see from his letter that he has the

accounting of a very large sum to perform and it is mostly in

ish smallest items which will give an idea of the work performed by

him.

If I were to have 3 Senior Clerks in the

Office all in the Higher Grade (one for Examining one for book- -keeping and one for collections) I would not have the same

reason, as in the past, to complain of my staff being used (un-

-wittingly) as a convenience for other Departments, inasmuch as

these three could be reckoned on as permanencies.

At present I have only two in the Grade (Messrs. Cunha and Lopes) and Mr. Pestonjee's work is equally

onerous and responsible.
