sail ether enginners, and various highly speeialised individuals with
particular skills, the Navy Department wishes to have available for its
use this provision, which is almost identical with Schedule A*IX-26 (Dept.
of AgrisuIture). The slight modification of the existing Dept. of
Agrioulture provision is to provide for a probable Shange in salary rates
