Colony, if any allowance is to be made for sickness, home-leave,
or other contingencies. I am informed, (subject to correction)
that the usual salary for mercantile clerks in Hongkong with
three or four years training in an English office, is from
#250 - 2300, and that a professional man is generally paid at
a higher rate.
I have also to point out thet I paid my own
passage out from England, thereby saving the Government about
£50.
It is for these reasons that I respectfully
apply for an increase to my salary sufficient to enable me to
live in the Colony as hefits an officer of this Department, and
I would further suggest that I may be appointed on to the per-
-manent staff so that I could receive the same consideration as
the other Engineers, when any appointments are made.
As explained to you today, I herewith append
my resignation in order to comply with the conditions of ap-
-pointment (b in letter 109 of 1909) but would be very pleased
to withdraw sanc if the Government would give me the consider-
-ation for which I am now applying, and to which I feel assured,
Sir, you would consider I am entitled.
Trusting that this will receive your favour-
-able consideration and recommendation.
I have etc.,
(sd.) J. E. Piercy.
