In 1898 the Acting Governor proposed to
revive the old appointment of Assistant Superintendent of Police, to be held by a Cadet; salary $1800 to
$2400. We referred the despatch back to Sir Henry
Plake, who had become Governor in the interval; mean-

The next thing was a despatch from Sir
H.Blake in March 1899, stating that an Assistant
Deputy Superintendent of Police, among other officers,
would be wanted for the New Territory. Mr Halifax, 2
cadet,
had been brought from Canton to Hong Kong to
lear police work. Pay suggested, $3,000.
We replied that the appointment might be
created, as a temporary thing, pending definite know-
ledge of the ultimate requirements of the New Terri-
tory; and that Mr Halifax might be appointed, but only on $2,400 (salary of a 5th class appointment fr the Straits/.
It was proposed by the Governor, before
the above despatch could have been considered, that
another Assistant Superintendent should be appointed, to be selected from the Punjab Police; salary $3,600. We replied that the proposal could stand over for
consideration with the Estimates; and expressed doubt as to the salary suggested.
Sir H.Blake said that, Mr Halifax was wanted
to which post he had been appontid as Police Magistrate in the New Territory, and that provision had been made for two Assistant Superinten- dents on the Estimates. Would we be so good as to
approve his getting a man from India?
