§ Mr. HUGH BARRIEasked the Chief Secretary to state the number of valuers 403W appointed last year by the Congested Districts Board (Ireland); whether further appointments are intended to be made during this year; and the salaries attached to these positions?
§ Mr. BIRRELLIn the year 1910, the Congested Districts Board appointed six temporary valuers at a salary of two guineas a day when employed and expenses, and an assistant valuer at a salary of £1 10s. per week with allowances. They have this year appointed two temporary inspectors to value land and conduct negotiations for land purchase at a fee of one guinea a day with expenses, and it is probable that some further similar appointments may be made.
