118. Police Training School: The officers attached to the Police Training School will of course receive the pay of their rank in the Force. For the Indian Teachers we suggest scales as in the Junior Clerical Service, namely 1 at $1,500 to $1,800 and 1 at $1,100 to $1,400, by $100 annually in each case. The Chinese Teacher is on part time duty only in the mornings and we consider that $360 per annum is adequate for the work done.
The Messenger and Station Coolie should receive $156 to $204 by $12 after 3, 6, 9 and 12 years.
24. PRISONS DEPARTMENT.
119. Up to the end of the year 1920 the Captain Superintendent of Police was in addition Superintendent of the Victoria Gaol. During the same year the Victoria Gaol became inadequate and an additional establishment was opened at Lai Chi Kok. The Prisons Department was then completely separated from the Police Force and the former Assistant Superintendent promoted to be full Superintendent. Early in 1925 it became clear that an Assistant Superintendent was required and a new post was therefore created. No change was, however, made in the scale of salary of the Superintendent and we note that the maxiumum of the new post of Assistant Superintendent exceeds the minimum of the salary scale of the Superintendent. In view of the increased import- ance of the post we have made a special scale for the Superintendent and increased it by more than the 15% suggested in most other cases. We recommend that he should receive £950 per annum rising to £1,300 by annual increments of £50. For the Assistant Super- intendent we recommend £600, to £850 by 5 annual increments of £25, 2 of £50 and 1 of £25.
The Chinese School Teacher is in part time employment only; we consider he should be paid $420 per annum.
120. For the Discipline Staff we recommend scales as follows:-
Chief Warders £475 to £535 by £20 annually;
Assistant Chief Warder £470;
Principal Warders £370 to £430 by £15 annually;
Warders £190 to £330 by 5 annual increments of £10, 2 of £20 and 5 of
£10.
For the Pharmacist, who we understand is to be renamed the Hospital Supervisor we suggest a scale of £360 rising to £460 by 6 annual increments of £15 and 1 cf £10; and for the new post of Assistant Supervisor recently suggested, we consider £300 rising to £350 by £10 annually to be adequate.
121. For the staff of the Female Prison we recommend a scale of $900, rising by $60 annually to $1,080 for the Matron and $420, rising by $30 annually to $660 for the Wardresses.

The Office Attendant should receive $252 to $300 by $12 after 3, 6, 9 and 12 years, and the Motor Driver, who we understand holds the rank of Warder, the scale suggested above, namely, $430 to $550 by $30 annually.
The Cooks, Messenger and Coolies should receive $156, rising to $204 by $12 after 3, 6, 9 and 12 years.
