Public Works Office,
15th. May 1895.
I have the honour to inform you that I joined your
de-
partment seven years ago on a monthly salary of $30 and have since
always endeavoured to discharge ry duties to the best of my abi-
lities. Lately owing to increase in my family the salary becajze
inadequate for my wants I most rdspectfully trust you will grant
me an increase.
Hon: Director of Public Works.
I have &c.,
Sd. Cheong Yow,
Draftsman.
