I have the honour to forward for your con-

sideration the enclosed Petition addressed to you by Mr. Julyan,

1st. Clerk in the Public Works Department, praying that he

may be allowed to draw salary at the rate of 4 Shillings to

the Dollar for the period occupied on his return journey from

leave in England a few months ago.

છું.

Mr. Julyan is an Officer who is not entitled

to Exchange Compensation. There being no ruling to the contrary

it was stated on his leave paper that salary would be draw

been

in England at the rate of 4 Shillings to the Dollar. I am

inclined to think that this privilege should not, have b

granted to him and that he should have drawn his saldry in

England at the current rate of Exchange only; but I shall be

glad of your ruling on this point

3.

But whatever your ruling may be on that

subject, there is no precedent for allowing an Officer to draw

salary at the privileged rate of Exchange on the voyage between

London and Hongkong. Even the Officers who were entitled to

the privileged rate in England prior to the grant of Exchange

Compensation drew their salary for the period of such voyage THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
