No.169. Your telegram of 11th December,1930, No.114. The revision of salaries as from 1st January 1930 was authorized by passing of Resolution moved by Colonial

of Secretary soe page 58 of

for 19th June,1930,

Hansard proceedings/Council

This Resolution adopted the

recommendations of the Salaries Commission who in

1797aragraph 12 of their report recommended xxx the basis
