To this Despatch Lord Ripon replied in despatch No.
126 of the 22nd. May, 1895:- "I regret that I can see no
sufficient reason for increasing the salary of........................... the
Assistant Colonial Secretary".
The matter then rested until on the 12th. July, 1899,
certain members of the Hongkong Civil Service submitted a
memorial to the Secretary of State for the Colonies representing
that "in view of the steady increase in house rents and the
"cost of living" in Hongkong their salaries had proved to he
inadequate and requesting that a Committee should be appointed
to inquire into the subject. Si- Henry Blake in his despatch
No. 199 of the 27th. idem strongly recommended the favourable
consideration of their application and Mr. Chamberlain replied
in despatch No. 280 of the 8th. December, 1899, that he saw no
sufficient reason for the appointment of a Committee, but that
he was willing, subject to the consent of the Legislative
Council to sanction a revised scale of laries and in para-
-graph 2 (b) of the despatch he fixed the salary of the
Assistant Colonial Secretary and Clerk of Councils at $4,800
rising to $5,400 by triennial increments of $300. This despatch
was printed and laid before Legislative Council as S.P.No. 2 of
1900 and Mr. Chamberlain's proposals were recommended by the
Finance Committee on the 29th, March, 1900, and approved by the
Legislative Council on the 5th. April, 1900.
Since that date there has been no change in the salary
assigned to the combined posts of Assistant Colonial Secretary
and Clerk of Councils which now stands at $4,800 rising to
$5,400 by $300 triennially in dollars and £600 riang to £720 by
£40 triennially in sterling.
