to it because Mr. Badeley, the then Deputy Superintendent of
Police, who is a dollar Cadet, was on the 23rd. April, 1902,
promoted to be Captain Superintendent of Police, while on 7th.
September, 1902, Captain Lyons, who was transferred to Hongkong
from the Federated Malay States, and who is not a Cadet, accept-
-ed the post on a Sterling salary. I, therefore, still think
that it would be no more than just to appoint Mr. Hallifax, who
to
is a dollar Cadet, and has 14 years of excellent service,
this post upon the dollar pay of the second class. If, however,
you are unable to approve this recommendation, I would suggest
as an alternative, that Mr. Hallifax should be allowed to accept
the post of Deputy Superintendent of Police at the existing
Sterling salary with the understanding that he will not thereby
forfeit his privileges as a dollar Cadet or his right to have
the salary of any other appointment, to which he is promoted,
fixed in dollars.
