of the two clerks who are paid $500
and S175 respectively-a reduction of
S25 per month from each of their
salaries would allow of Japanese
clerk to be engaged without adding
to present expenses. A Japanese
clerk is much needed at the Post Of
flee to distribute the Japanese letters.
Your committee therefore recommend
that "Salary of Clerks" pass at
$33, l2O instead of 5000 as in the

mend that the salary of the Postmas-
ter-General pass at Sc, 900 instead of
$1,000; also, that postal Money

ion that the Postal Bureau is we'll and
" ii mic oh
q considerable revenue over expen-
SEES. They do not feel justified IN
recommending any further reduction
in the expenses of this Bureau in
fact the pOst-masters and mail-car-

Minister Of the Interior to needed
