§ Mr. ElliotI am informed that approximately 220 employés of the Corporation were engaged as enumerators: none as poll clerks; and 100 as presiding officers. The officials engaged were selected by the Returning Officer from those with salaries not exceeding £300 per annum on the recommendation of the various Heads of Departments. They were paid the same fees as the other officers engaged, no deduction being made from salaries.
