sir,
REG 9 FEB 181
I attach a copy of my letter of the 8th.
August last, eddressed to the Honourable the Diraoter
of Public Works, on the subject of the vacancy created
in consequence of the lǝavə granted to Mr. A. F. Churchill,
1st. Aasistant Director of Public Works, and his raply
thereto, with which I regret to say I am not satisfied.
The concluding paragraph of my letter of
the 8th. August was written on the assumption that such
an appointment would have followed the usual course, and
a reference of ao amall a matter to you would not then
have been necessary.
The initial salaries of both the Assistant
Directors are of the same valus, so that no financial
benefit would follow a promotion from 2nd. Assistent
to 1st. Assistant whilst acting. My promotion, on the
other hand, would mean an ingresso at the rate of £75
per annum whilst acting.
In my letter of the 8th. August I sketched
my career from 1900. I may add that I was appointed
at the end of 1896 and arrived in January 1897 to join
this
The Right Honourable
Walter H. Long, M. P.
His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State
for the Colonies.
