Servants. 

 A cook and a steward boy are normally required but some manage 

 to do with a cook-boy only. They can be obtained without difficulty. 

 Wages vary according to locality from £2 los. od. to £4 per month 

 for a cook and £2 to £3 per month for a steward-boy. 



Transport. 

 A Forest Officer will have to be prepared to travel almost entirely 

 on foot and frequently without the assistance of a hammock through 

 bush tracks. As there are no draught animals there are only a few 

 main roads over which motor vehicles travel. 



Postage. 

 Ordinary Empire rates. There is a special Gold Coast series of 

 stamps of the values of ^-d., id., 2d., 3d., and upwards. 



Hobbies. 

 An officer interested in natural history has a full field to indulge 

 his taste especially the botanist, entomologist and ornithologist. There 

 is also much scope for photography, painting and sketching. Materials 

 must be brought with one for these latter. 



Travelling Allowance. 

 An allowance of ten shillings per twenty-four hours for class "A" 

 Officers and six shillings for Class "B" Officers is allowed when an Officer 

 is travelling on duty. At present this is commuted with the field 

 allowance at the rate of £10 per month for Class "A" and £7 per month 

 for Class " B" Officers.
