Sir.
I have the honour to enclose a copy of a letter
which we have received from Mr. G. W. Eves, late Chief
Resident Engineer of the Kowloon Canton Railway,
claiming the cost of his passage from Hong Kong to
England and half salary during the voyage.
2. When Mr. Eves was engaged for this appointment
in 1906 he was, as you are aware, in China, and took
up the appointment direct from there without coming to
England. The draft of an agreement with him was prepared here and after execution by us in triplicate
was sent out to the Colonial Government with a request that it should completed by Mr. Eves and one copy returned to us. We have however had no reply to this
request from the Colonial Government and we are therefore
unable to say whether the agreement was in fact executed
by Mr. Eves, or if not, on what other terms he was
engaged. Our agreement however provides as follows:
"Half salary will be paid during the voyage from "Hong Kong to England on the satisfactory "termination of this engagement.
