Referring to your Confidential Despatch of 15th August on the subject of the payment of salaries in future in sterling, the following passage occurs in paragraph 4:-
In view of the fact that their salaries were raised as recently as the 1st January, 1900, and in view of the heavy present and prospective charges upon the Hong-Kong revenue, I do not as at present advised consider that these officers should receive the same increase as that given to officers in the Straits Settlements and the Federated Malay States.

Were the financial condition of Hong-Kong, as compared with the Straits Settlements, such as to necessitate a different and lower scale of salaries, I feel that the result would be disastrous to the Civil Service of this Colony in the future. Already the well-known expense of living, the increased distance from home, and the loud cries of insanitation got up by a few persons connected with the Press, for the purpose of furthering an agitation for a Municipal Council, the statements being copied into a number of English papers, difficulties are found at home in obtaining candidates for the lower branches of the Service, and a settled scale of salaries on
