At a 1/11 dollar the cost would therefore be approximately

$377,000

At a 2/0 dollar the cost would therefore be approximately

$326,000

At a 2/1 dollar the cost would therefore be approximately

$272,000

If the scale above set out is adopted, it would be possible

to abolish the remittance privileges to which I have referred in paragraph 8 above, as officers at present in receipt thereof would obtain additions to salary of about 14 times the amounts which they at present draw under the

remittance scheme.
