At this stage there should be a strict
efficiency bar. A Cadet'a salary should
then rise by £50 annually to £900, where a
skinny further bar should be placed, and then again
by increments of £50 to £1200. Above this
rate I consider that promotion should only
take place as Class I appointmente fall
vacant, and it will be convenient to
make the scale for these £1250 to £1500
by annual increments of £50. If this
rate is adopted the corresponding al-
teration will no doubt be made in rates
of salary for other Heads of Departments
whose pay is intended to correspond with
that of Class I Cadet appointments.

As regards the appointments
classified as Special I approve the
rates of salary which you recommend
here and elsewhere. It will of course
be understood that as the system of
fixing salaries in sterling has been
retained the figures should be divided
by 10 and expressed in pounds sterling.

I will deal next with the
question of the Police Force.
I
observe that Police probationers are to
receive the same salary as Cadete al-
though they are some years younger.
In my opinion some difference should
be made between these rates, and I am
inclined to doubt whether in any case
So young an officir as £300 is a sufficient amount even for a
Police probationer. Possibly

the
Police probationer might be left at
£300 and the Cadets raised to 2325 or the
rates might be made £325 £350
respectively.
I shall be glad if you
will consider this point. I agree to
-14,
the proposed scale for pass/probationers
subject to the insertion of efficiency
bars at suitable points in the scale,
which I would suggest might be £550 and
£800.
I agree generally with your
proposals as regards the lower ranks of
the European Police Force, and the
Indian and Chinese Police.
