Sir,

With reference to paragraphs 4 and 5 of my

confidential (2) despatch of 13th September, 1938, and

to the approval, conveyed in your confidential despatch

of 17th November, 1938, of my proposals for a Class I

grade in the Administrative Service in this Colony I

have the honour to recommend Mr. E. I. Wynne-Jones for

promotion to the vacancy caused by the retirement of Mr. G. R. Sayer, with effect from 29th November, 1938, and

Mr. H. R. Butters for promotion to the vacancy caused by

the retirement of Mr. W. Schofield, with effect from 18th

December, 1938.

2. Messrs. Wynne-Jones and Butters are the next in

order of seniority for promotion in the list of Class II

officers of the Administrative Service in this Colony.

They have respectively eighteen and seventeen years'

service and have already acted in various posts usually

filled by officers of Class I; their records are known to

you from annual confidential reports; and I consider them

now qualified for promotion in all respects.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

in ab ce

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
