I note particularly the report upon -

Kr. Hallifax, who has been noted for a long time ; Mr. Kemp, the Crown Solicitor;

Dr. Koch, who is another old friend;

Mr. Hesser, a very strong report; and

Mr. Nisbet, who is one of the men we took over from

South Africa.

We also seem to get one or two good additions

wit

nuntinoof,-

to our Engineer see particularly the reports of Mr. Jaffé and Mr. Perkins.

Apparently there is a report on Mr. de Rome which is on the list but has not been received.

I take it that it is hardly necessary to send the reports in duplicate and, if that is your view, we

had better say so.

Government o ouse.

27th February 1914.

With reference to my Confidential despatch of the 20th

December 1912, I have the heneur to transmit an alphabetical

list of officers in the sàrvice of this Government, who have

applied er are fitted, in my opinion, for premetien ●therwise

than in their own Department, whether in this Celeny or else-

-where; together with my Confidential reperts on the majority

of them, with references in the alphabetical list to previous

reports in cases in which I de net censider fresh reports

necessary at present. The items (a) (b) { C) & (d) in my

report refer to those set out in the Secretary of State'a

Confidential Circular of December 4th 1884.

I also

attach a list grouping the officers by departments.

2. I have included only these European Masters in the

Education Department who have applied for promotion outside

the Colony.

3. In the Public Works Department I have selected før

report the four best xecutive Engineers. It does not seem

necessary to report on the Assistant Engineers as they have

prospects of promotion in the Celeny. But in the event of

your requiring a junior Engineer in some other Geleny, I

should be glad to be given the opportunity of submitting

the namo of a candidate from Hongkong.

The Right Honourable

LEWIS V.HARCOURT

M.P.

Secretary of State for

the Colonies.

I have the heneur te be,

sir,

Your most obedient humble Servant,

Amay

Governer etc,.
