stimulate officers to qualify early and I therefore propose to
amend the General Order in the manner shewn and to retain them,
but a strict efficiency bar will be imposed at 290 and again
at £350. Under the new scale, as is found in practice under the
present scale, a competent Sanitary Inspector s hould qualify for
a salary of £300 within two years of the date of his first
appointment; he should reach 3350 in his seventh year and provided
he passes the efficiency bar he will then proceed to draw further
increments up to £430.

No provision was, of course, made for the
introduction of this through-scale in the Estimates for the
present year, but I propose to provide for it in the Estimates
for 1937 and then consider the date of its introduction in the
light of the financial position as it appears towards the end
of this year.
If it is possible to introduce the through-scale
as from 1st January, 1937, it will be made, in the case of each
officer at present in the service, retrospective to the date on which he qualified for £300 per annum under General Order 138,
with the proviso that during the year 1937 no officer who is now
in Class II will proceed to a salary in excess of £370. This
means that an officer who, according to the new scale, would on
1st January, 1937, already be qualified for a salary exceeding
£370 per annum, would proceed to draw £370 per annum as from that date and 1st January would thereafter be his incremental
date.
6. The additional expenditure involved by the
introduction of the through-scale will not be large. Each
officer affected by the scale will in the long run draw as
salary an extra sum of money which, so far as can be estimated at the present time, will amount to approximately £120. If
the new scale is introduced on 1st January, 1937, as outlined
in the preceding paragraph, the extra expenditure involved in 1937 will amount to less than £25, though in 1938 it would rise
to
