satisfied that the compensation is inadequate
to the amount of work, and the responsibility

they therefore recommend that he be allowed
the extra amount of 2½% on the receipts for
bills &c. which they learn will give him about
$350 additional.

In view also of the prospective business of the

whole compensation, exclusive of the Repair
Fund exceed the sum of eight hundred dollars.

All of which is respectfully submitted.
