SIR,—Your contributor on February 25 sug- gested that a bank

cashier, aged between forty- three and fifty, probably earns about £13 a week. This figure is too low. In the clearing banks today a clerk may expect to earn this amount by the time he is thirty-one or thirty- two. Periodical increments of salary will have ensured that a satisfactory cashier of the character suggested in the article is earning more than this at the age of forty-three or more.—Yours faithfully, -I.
