THE INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERS AND SHIPBUILDERS.
INAUGURAL MEETING.
A crowded meeting of subscribers to the above named institution was held at No. 15, Praya Central, Inst alght under the pre sidency of Mr. David Gillies, M.I.N.A., Chair man at the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company. There were present Messri, George Peebles and Robert Cook (vice-Presidents); A. G. Alikea, I. W. Crocker, A. Crawford, E. J. Main, D. MacDonald (Committee); Mr J. W. Kew, Treasurer pro. tim, Mr. W.

The proposal that all appointments shall have a minimum and maximum salary attached, with a periodical rate of increase, requires no advocacy, and allows no room for argument; it is the only business-like way in which such a matter can be arranged satisfactorily for both employer and employé. And the desirability of the total abolition of all perquisites in the shape of allowances. office fees, or special grants is equally apparent, The system of fees and allowances for certan appointments has never worked well in Hongkong (excepting to the lucky recipients) and has caused such a very great deal of dissatisfac- tion throughout the, Service, that we consider Mr. WHITEHEAD has initiated a measure of reform in most excellent advocating the discontinuance of a practice that in some respects has never quite heen beyond suspicion; and we feel justified in believing that the Secretary of State will endorse this view, and promptly sanction the alterations proposed. It is a pity that the Chamber of Commerce so weakly qualify his proposition regard ing the acting appointment difficulty, by leaving a loop-hole for the proverbia! four-wheeled coach. As his Excellency the Acting Governor very justly remarked, the phrase "under very exceptional circumstances" may be considered as an unknown quantity; and as we have already pointed out, its inclusion in the resolution renders nugatory the beneficial results that otherwise might reasonably have been expected from its adoption. The whole question of acting appointments covers too much space to be exhaustively criticised here, but its importance cannot be gainsaid, and we will deal with it in its several bearings in a special article. However, so far as the principle. is concerned and whatever may be Lord KNUTSFORD's decision, Mr. WHITEHKAD can safely rely on the support of the entire community in his attempt to bring within reasonable limits what of late years has become little short of a scandal to the Administration, The honorable member was perhaps unfortunate in including the Police Magistrates in his list of permanent and immovable officials, but thewe must at the same time admit that much Par Bhigher ranks of the Civil Service, Mr.might be urged both for and against; and
