STAFF
13. The authorized establishment of the department at the close of the year was 976, an increase over the preceding year of 108 posts. 353 of the posts are pensionable.
14. The substantial increase in staff and posting of experienced officers to new offices necessitated a large number of new recruits being placed at such places as the public counters and some initial slight loss of efficiency had therefore to be suffered, but improvement was shown as the year progressed and the staff became more experienced.
15. Five additional posts approved to augment the Senior Establish- ment and relieve the position noted in my previous report could not be filled until near the end of the year, but the senior staff position is now much more satisfactory.
