An allowance fhould alfo be made to the land furveyor or engineer of the fettlement, in equal proportions from all the hundreds, so as not to exceed 1000 days work per annum, viz. 800 days work for falary, and 200 days work in lieu of all charges for travelling, lodging, &c. as he will occafionally be employed in the most diftant parts of the fettlement, in laying out lots, furveying roads, conftructing bridges, and all other public works that are ordered by the common council. And if he is chofen into the office of a town clerk (whereby he will have a falary of 800 days work) his allowance as engineer fhall not exceed 600 days work; 400 of which at least, he muft must pay to fome perfon to affift him in his duty. That an allowance of 1000 days work be alfo made in equal proportions from all the hundreds, to the examined and approved Surgeon of the principal hofpital, who, in confideration thereof, fhall 'attend upon and give advice gratis, to all perfons that are admitted on the hofpital lift of patients, either as in or out patients. And also 600 days work each to as many duly qualified affiftant furgeons, as can at prefent be procured; fuppofe 4 affiftants: but if any of these fhould be elected town clerks, in that cafe to have no allowance as affiftant furgeons, unless their attendance should really be required at the public hospital by an order of common council. That N. B. The above proposed allowance to the furgeon and 4 afliftants, will amount to 3400 days work, but if That an allowance of 800 days labour be made to Mr., as town marshalt, to attend upon the magiftrates of the principal township, and execute their legal orders in all civil arrests (in like manner as the city marshals of London) to infpect alfo, under their direction, the discipline and exercife of the militia, and to have the charge, and keep accompt as ftore-keeper, of all public military ftores; and that he be allowed alfo fome land as a lot of office, befides his private if 3 examined furgeons fhould really be fent out with the 3 fhips, whofe abilities and behaviour should prove equally fatisfactory to the paflengers in each fhip, it may feem hard to give a large falary to one, and to rank the reft only as afiftants, wherefore it is proposed, in that cafe, to lower the falary of the firft, and render the 3 examined furgeons equal, viz. to allow 800 days work to each of them, taking their rank by feniority, and to pay the 3 affiftants only 500 days work each: and even with this reduction, 500 more days work must be added to make up the falaries (as propofed in the table of falaries) for 3 principal furgeons and their affiftants. private lot of land. And if he should. ever be fent by the common council to any diftant part of the fettlement to affist the land furveyor, he fhall be paid an allowance for travelling and lodging, from home, like the land furveyor, but in proportion to the time of extraordinary fervice. That all perfons who are appointed to public employments with falaries of days work fhall, nevertheless, give indents for the fame proportion of taxes (the clergy or minifters of the gospel alone excepted) that shall be paid by all the other fettlers, and no perfon fhall be excused from giving his perfonal attendance on the fummons from the Bank, for the tax labour, or general contribution, without paying at least triple the value of the fervice, unless prevented by fome real bodily infirmity, or other lawful and reasonable impediment, except he be a useful arti ficer ficer, who may redeem his perfonal attendance at double the value, but for all other debts of labour beyond the common tax, they may be redeemed or balanced by other indents of equal value, in every man's accompt at the public Banks. And with refpect to perfons who may have borrowed money on the credit of their appointments to offices with falaries of days work, they fhall be permitted to draw upon the principal Bank of the fettlement, or upon the Bank of the Hundred in which they are affociated, for a part of their yearly falary in advance (not exceeding one fourth part of it) in order to give security for their debts, or to obtain such ready money as their accepted draughts for days labour may be worth, from any perfons that are willing to give credit to the faid Banks, according to the plan of credit hereafter propofed.
