mentioned in the concluding paragraph of Sir Thomas
Southorn's despatch No.299 of 15th June, 1932, and now
again vacant by the retirement of the new holder be left
vacant and in its place there be created a post for a
European Probationer similar to that of Probationers in
the Senior Clerical and Accounting Staff, and carrying the
same salary, namely $1,200 - $120 $1,560. The holder
of this post would be trained in all branches of postal
work and would in due course look for promotion to an
Assistant Superintendent ship on the sterling scale.

I consider further that some improvement in
the salary scale of the Superintendent of Mails is also
called for. The present scale is that allotted by the
Salaries Commission to the highest subordinate European
posts in the Service namely £600 - £25 £700 and might on
that ground be thought adequate. It must, however be
remembered that while a certain number of senior posts
(e.g. Assistant Superintendentships in the Police Force)
carrying higher salaries are open to subordinate staff in
other branches, the Superintendent of Mails cannot hope for any such advancement. I propose therefore, subject to your approval and if the financial position improves, to consider with the Estimates for 1935 the elevation of the Super-
intendent's scale to £650 - £25
£25 - £750. In the meantime
in view of the extra responsibility devolving upon Mr. Hynes since the late Mr. Holdman's post fell vacant I would request your sanction to pay him an acting allowance at the rate of £100 per annum from the date of Mr. Holdman's death
until the post is filled.

If these proposals are approved the Superin-.
tendending Staff of the Mails Branch of the Post Office
