Hongkong, 12th, June, 1920.
Dear Mr. Taggart,
As Chairman of a Committee appointed to draw up
a petition from the Engineering section of this Department to be
addressed to The Secretary of State for the Colonies I would
esteem it a great favour if you could supply me with some
information with regard to any increase in the cost of living
in this Colony since March 1919, when I understand, you gave
evidence before the Commission appointed to conduct an Enquiry
regarding the Tmoluments of the Public Service of this Colony.
Thanking you in anticipation that you will be
able to help me in this matter.
I am,
Yours Sincerely,
sd. H. T. Jackman.
