RUE O JUL 01
Sanitary Board Office,
Hongkong, 17th. May, 1901.

I have the honour to state for the infern-
ation of His Excellency the Governor that at a meeting of the
Board held yesterday, an application from the Acting Secretary
for the substantive appointment of Secretary to the Board was
considered and the following resolution on the motion of the
Vice-President seconded by Mr. Fang Wa Chun was unanimously
adopted.-
*That Mr. Woodcock's application be fer-
warded and recommended for the favourable consideration of
His Excellency the Governor and the Board further recommend
that the salary of the office be increased to $3,600 rising to $4,200 per annum by triennial increments of $300*.
I have attached a copy of the minutes of
the Members on the Circulating Cover of the application as
showing that in the opinion of the Board Mr. Woodcock has
proved himself a very suitable man for the post. When consi- dering the application the Board gave great importance to
this fact.
During his acting appointment Mr. Wood-
cock has tried to fit himself for the post, and in addition
to spending considerable time in the study of the various
Health Ordinances has made a careful study of Chinese Collo-
-quial
The Honourable
T. Sercombe Smith,
Acting Colonial Secretary.
