105 105 4 First class Second class Fifth class, 1st grade Meddings, W. G. Furby, W. S. Smith, H. F. Miller, D. A. This officer appeals on the ground that his maximum has been fixed at £450, whilst two other officers in the same class—viz., Inspectors of Telegraphs at Napier and Dunedin —have their maximum at £500. This is not a proper ground of appeal under the regulations, because the maxir mum of the Inspector of Telegraphs at Christchurch has been fixed by the Act of 1890. This is not an appeal against class, but as to date of appointment. We think this officer is entitled to count provincial service under section 31 of " The Civil Service Act, 1866." Recommend that this officer be placed in fourth class. Recommend that this officer be placed in the fourth class, and that title " Senior " be prefixed to his office. Applies to be placed in fourth class. Recommend that the officer be placed in fifth class, 1st grade. Recommend that this officer be placed in fifth class, 2nd grade. Ditto. Recommend that this officer be entered as a clerk in the sixth class. 12 15 105 106 4 12 20 106 11 Fifth class, 2nd grade Bush, J.
