Mr. Dyer remarked that the Finance Act provided for the increase, and he rejoiced that tliey -were in a position to make the restoration.
Colonel T. W. McDonald said that it was obvious that the board had lost control of its own staff: they wero being dictated to as to what salaries should bo paid. The chairman said that since he had given notice of his motion the position had altered somewhat in view of the communication received from the Government. By restoring the cut they were simply carrying out the Department's instructions.
The motion was carried
