Hongkong, 3rd. July, 1903.
With reference to your Despatch No. 40 of
the 10th. February last, I have the honour to transit for
your favourable consideration the enclosed copy of a letter
from Mr. Jones, Assistant Director of Public Works, with
reference to the emoluments of his post.
2.
The anomaly to which he draws attention,
whereby he is in receipt of a salary lower than that of one
of his juniors in the Department, has arisen from the recent
conversion of salaries to a Sterling basis, and the grant of
Exchange Compensation on the whole of the dollar salary. I
attach a minute on the subject by the Director of Public Works,
with whose views on the matter I agree. I therefore submit
that provision should be made in the Estimates for next year
for increasing the salary of this post to 2720 rising to £810
per annum.
