On further consideration I think it

well to abolish the post of Senior Executive Engineer £630

£660 by £30 triennially, with Duty Pay of £60 and to substitute

another post of First Grade Executive Engineer £570

-

£630 by

£30 triennially, with Duty Pay of £60. The rights of the

present Senior Executive Engineer, Mr. C. H. Gale, are preserv

-ed by retaining in his case as personal to himself a maximum

of £660.

I also desire to raise the maximum of an

Assistant Engineer from £440 to £450. The present maximum

(without Duty Pay) is £480.

5.

After very careful consideration I am

of opinion that the eight Assistant Engineerships should be

divided into two grades with £50 and £40 Duty Pay respectively,

and that the increments for both grades should be of £10

annually instead of £30 triennially. All of the Assistant

Engineers have complained of the terms offered to them and I

am satisfied that the modifications now suggested are justified

by the reduction in maximum pensionable pay from £480 to £450.
