I have the honour to state that a question
has arisen with regard to the proper interpretation of that
part of Colonial Regulation No.81 which deals with the case
of an officer who at the time of promotion is drawing a salary not less than the minimum salary of his new office. The difficulty lies in the words "The period qualifying for
the first increment is to be reckoned from the date at which
he began to draw that scale of salary" (i.e. the equivalent
of the minimum salary of the new post.). Is the meaning
that, however. long the officer has drawn that rate of
salary he is only entitled to draw on promotion one increment
of the salary of the new post or that he is entitled to
reckon for increments in the new post the whole time spent
on the equivalent salary in the old post?

The case which has raised the question is
that of Mr. Chambers whose promotion was approved in the
Duke of Devonshire's despatch No.166 of the 3rd of August,
2) 1922. Mr. Chambers had been drawing £320 a year, the
maximum salary of his former post, since 1st January, 1920. He was promoted to a post on £320 £10 £360 on 1st
September, 1923. On the question being referred to me,
-
-
I ruled that he was entitled to count all his service on
£320 for increments in his new post, i.e. that he was
eligible for a salary of £350 from lat September, 1923, and
