I have the honour to refer to my

confidential despatch of 6th September, 1938, forwarding copies of the report of the Committee appointed to consider anomalies arising out of the

recent introduction of the new salary scales, and

to inform you that I have received an intimation

that the Executive Engineers and Engineers of the

Public Works Department propose to submit a petition

to you on the recommendations of the report affecting

them. I have accordingly been asked that you may be

requested to defer decision on these recommendations

pending receipt of this petition. I understand

that it will be submitted within the next week or

two, and it will be transmitted to you as soon

thereafter as it has been possible to examine it.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

cs. Witheate
