do not accept the suggestion that the duties of the law agent to a large local authority are less exacting or less responsible than those o f either the County Medical Officer or the County Engineer or Surveyor. Such a view has never been advanced in the past, and in the submission of the Council nothing could be said in its favour in the present except so called reasons of pure expediency. The adoption of such a viewpoint as a basis o f action will, in the long run, lead to the position in which the local authorities will not find the type of candidates for the position of law agent who will have the requisite degree of legal knowledge and ability to deal with what is admittedly one of the most difficult branches o f a solicitor’s practice. 5. The Council submit to the Minister that the position in regard to the recently advertised offices should be reconsidered and that before the salary scales are finally fixed the Council should be given an opportunity of submitting proposals thereon.
