Sir,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG. 3rd. August, 1912.
Referring to Sir F. Lugard's Despatch No. 248
of the 28th. September, 1908, I have the honour to transmit the enclosed copy of a letter from the members of the Survey Staff applying for increase in their emoluments and of a letter from the Director of Public Works on the subject.
2.
The attached list shows that since the salaries
of the Staff were readjusted in 1908 the attraction to remain in
the Department has still been to week.
3.
I consider, therefore, that a further re- -adjustment is desirable and I have to recomend the following:-
1 Principal Land Surveyor 2510 to £540 by £30 after
three years with Duty Pay of £60 12 months after attaining maximum.
2 First Grade Surveyors: £450 to £480 by £10 an ually
with Duty Pay of £40 as above.
2 Second Grade Surveyors on permanent staff: £360 to
£420 by £10 annually with Duty Pay of £40 as above.
In view of the recent re-adjustment in 1908 of the increases which
the Staff will enjoy under the above scheme I do not recommend that Duty Pay should be granted at present.
4.
I cannot recommend any increase to the Staff
at present wider Agreement beyond making their increments £10
annually.
any case it will be some
