5. The expatriate staff of the department numbered 182 and the non-expatriate staff 3,961. The number of daily rated artisans and labourers averaged 1,440 and the transfer of this class of employees from daily pay to monthly pay was continued during the year. The figures for expatriate staff showed a reduction of seven officers whilst those for non-expatriate staff showed an increase of 881 over the figures for the previous year.
6. Recruitment of expatriate staff, particularly engineers, was again very disappointing and barely balanced normal casualties and retirements. Consequently with expenditure reaching new heights the staff was pressed harder than ever. To keep up with the swollen building programme increased use was made of architects in private practice and on the engineering side several projects were delayed or in some instances not commenced.
7. Mr. J. Forbes, O.B.E., retired from the post of Acting Director on 31st May, on the arrival in the Colony of Mr. Allan Inglis from Malaya.
