§ MR. MACVEAGH (Down, S.)To ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the increase in the work of chief clerks to surveyors of taxes, it is proposed to increase the present annual increment.
(Answered by Mr. Victor Cavendish.) The wages of clerks in all grades in the offices of surveyors of taxes were thoroughly revised in 1900, when substantial improvements were made in their rates of pay, and no addition to their increments seems called for.
