Personal qualities. Is very conscientious in the performance of his

duties, thoroughly steady, reliable and hardworking.

official qualities. Is systematic and loyal and has a thorough know-

ledge of drainage work, including sanitary appliances used in

house-construction.

Claime to promotion. No special claime beyond those arising from

steady, honest and good service.

Mr. Dickson is in my opinion quite fitted to fill the post of

Sanitary Surveyor or Clerk of Works. I do not consider him fit for

the position of Assistant Engineer in a Colony such as this.

There is no other officer in this Colony possessing similar

experience who is senior to Mr. Dickson. He has therefore a prior

claim to promotion to an office requiring experience in drainage work

and the installation of sanitary fittinge, &c.
