Enclosure Mr. 2 of the Board.
741 (2) 2 Additional Foremen of Street Cleansers required for Kowloon, the population of which has largely increased.
(3) An increase in the salary of the engineer of the Disinfecting Station namely $216 to $420. The Board has found it impossible to obtain a reliable man for a lower salary.
(4) The appointment of a stoker in lieu of a watchman at the Disinfecting Station. Experience has shown that the services of a stoker are absolutely necessary. This will cause an increase of $36 a year (Salary of watchman $108: stoker $144).
I attach a tabulated statement showing the difference between the Estimates of the Sanitary Department for 1901 and 1902 and have the honour to request your authority to adopt the proposed increases and modifications recommended by the Board.
I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient, humble servant, Henry Attake
GOVERNOR, H.K.
