Enclosure 4.
Extract from a Minute by the Colonial Secretary.

The only recommendations I have to make are the
following:-
TREASURY.
a
Schedule of Chinese Clerkships &c.
Third Shroff might be put in Class VII at $480
to $600.
Collector of Village Rates on next vacancy might
be made $480 - $600 and Assistant Collector
Village Rates might be put in Class VIII ($240
to $420).
HARBOUR DEPARTMENT.- Interpreters at Hunghom and Shamshuipo
Both these posts (which are more clerical than Interpretatorial) might be put in class VIII of
Classification Scheme - $240 to $420 by $60
biennially. It is not possible to get a trust-
worthy clerk at $204 per annun.
LAND OFFICE.
Assistant Clerk, and Clerk, New Territory.
I think both these posts should be brought under
the Classification Scheme at $480 to $600 by
$60 biennially. The present holders might be
granted biennial increments of $60 from 1st
January 1904 in order to effect that object. The
work in the Land Office requires a better stamp
of clerk than can be got to stay on $860 per
annum.
GAOL DEPARTMENT. - Clerk. This clerk was appointed for
looking after the printing work which is daily
increasing in volume. I think the post might be
brought
