confidential (2) despatch of 22nd August, 1939, regarding

salaries and titles of Government Marine Surveyors and

note your approval of the proposed changes in titles and

proposed new salary scales.

on to the new scales I intimated in my confidential despatch

of 25th August, 1939, that I had come to the conclusion

that the terms proposed by me in my confidential despatch 8 of 12th October, 1938, were unnecessarily generous and had

suggested treatment identical with that proposed by you in

paragraph 4 of your despatch under acknowledgment.

proposal, i.e. absorption of serving officers at the

incremental point commensurate with their length of service,

has accordingly been adopted.

That

I enclose a note for comunication to the Board of

Trade on the present grading and salaries etc. of the

sub-department.

I have the honour to be,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
