more a month, varying with his substantive pay in the
Indian iolitical Department time-scale. The Protectorate
Secretary 1 s present salary is equivalent to Rs.1100, and
the addition of a similar acting allowance of Rs.400 will
raise his emoluments (apart from the sumptuary allowance)
to Rs.1500, a sum which is far smaller than that drawn
formerly by a First Assistant Resident in similar
circumstances, and which is in my opinion inadequate for
the duties and responsibilities which the post of Resident
and Chief Commissioner entail.
3. In my letter No. A/276/2793 dated End May, 1931,
I recommended that an officer acting in this appointment
should draw the full pay attached to it, according to the
service to which he belongs. This proposal was not
approved by the Government of India (vide their letter
No. F.139-A/31 dated 13th December, 1931) as at the time
it would have resulted in the officiating officer drawing
a total sum greater than that admissible to the then
permanent incumbent, who belonged to the Colonial Service.
This objection would not be valid in the case of the
present Protectorate Secretary, who is himself a Colonial
Service official, and who would, under my proposal, receive
the lower scale of pay sanctioned for the Resident, that
is Rs.2500 a month. I shall be grateful if the *
recommendation made in my letter of 2nd May, 1931, can be
reconsidered in the case of the Protectorate Secretary T s
acting appointment in the light of these altered
circumstances.
4. Alternatively I suggest that, as the present
Protectorate Secretary is an officer of the Colonial
Service,
