[No. 37

Any boy who may have been in receipt of the maximum pay of his position for two years, and who cannot qualify for promotion to another class in the Non-clerical Division or for a cadetship, will be required to resign.

In the event of a greater number of such boys qualifying for promotion than the Department can absorb at the time, they will be placed in a supernumerary class, and receive £5 increases yearly until the pay reaches £56, or until they can be promoted.

Every message-boy shall be entitled to a clothing-allowance of £5 after the completion of the first year's service, if favourably reported upon by the head of his office. Application for the allowance must be made through the local office.
