Hongkong,(13th. November, 1902.
In reply to your Despatch No. 265 of the
25th. of last August, I have the honour to inform you that
Mr. E. H. Carpenter has passed the qualifying examination
referred to in my Despatch No. 289 of the 1st. August, 1901. t.
During his year's probation Mr. Carpenter

drew salary at the rate of $1,800 per annum, which was
equivalent to a Sterling Salary of about £175. The salary
for which he has been recommended is £216 per annum, or an
increase of £40, which is a substantial addition to his salary
in view of the fact that he has only about 18 months' service.
I am not in favour of giving an increase of almost £100 a
year to an Officer in such a junior position, seeing that the
largest increase allowed in the Sterling Salary Scheme, except
to Heads of Departments, is £60 a year and that triennially.
I therefore recommend that the salary of £216 be allowed to
stand for the present.
3.
With regard to Mr. Xavier's salary, which
is correctly quoted in your Despatch under reply, I have to
point out that there is in this Colony no local allowance
which is payable to Officers who do not receive Exchange
Compensation THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
at ontg.
