name of Assistant Engineer Robertson. He however is about to
proceed to England on leave of absence, and Mr.May intends
with my concurrence to attach him for a time to the Liverpool
Fire Brigade for a course of instruction .When he returns
to HongKong his qualifications will be taken into account in
arranging for the appointment of a permanent Assistant Su-
perintendent.
II. I do not recommend that Mr.May should be
required to relinquish the $360 per annum which he has drawn
since the amalgamation took place. If he does so,his salary
will no longer be equal to the salaries paid to the Colonial
that Treasurer and the Police Magistrate, and to be provided for
the Registrar-General.
The extra expense to the Goverment if
all my recommendations meet with your approval will not be
morethan $30 a month, the amount which I suggest should be
paid to the Second Assistant.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your most obedient
humble servant,
Huvay
