My Lord,
With reference to Colonial Office
Regulations Nos. 28 and 39, I have the honour to state
that the Local Auditor has requested that a ruling may
be given as to whether in the case of temporary appoint-
-monts at salaries exceeding £100 reference to Your Lord-
-ship is necessary.
2.
Two such cases of different
kinds have recently occurred. In the first owing to the
necessity of engaging an additional Assistant Engineer in
connection with work on the Mongkoktsui Breakwater, I
authorized the engagement of Mr. E. E. Rigold as from the
1st. instant, the appointment being subject to termina-
-tion at a month's notice on either side, and the salary
£25 per mengem being payable from the vote for the break-
-water. In the second case owing to sickness and to an
unfilled vacancy in the Water Works Staff, which caused
delay
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
THE EARL OF CREWE,
