The part-time services of the officer in charge have been placed at the disposal of the Board by the Glasgow Public-house Trust Company, of which company he is the general manager. For the work which he does for the Board the Board pay him £270 a year, but the Board do not know what salary he is paid by the company for the work which he does for them. The scheme of supervision is being continued pending the settlement by Parliament of the general question of liquor control, and the duties of the supervisor and the scope of the scheme are fully explained in the fourth Report of the Board (Cd. 9055).
