We have referred the question to the
Consulting Engineers and attached
is a copy of their reply.
Besides
the two men you suggested, we asked them to consider Mr.W.J.Covell,
Aset Engr., Telegraph Dept, Fiji,
but, as you will see, they do not
think he is qualified.
Will you please let us know whether you wish us to take any
further action.

Gentlemen,
M/H.K. 12021.
With reference to your letter of May 17th enclosing copies of a letter and telegram from the Governor of Hong Kong to the Colonial Office regarding the appointment
of an executive wireless officer, we have the honour to state that there should be no serious difficulty in procur- ing suitable candidates at the salary offered, namely £725 rising to 2950.
2. We do not consider that either Mr. W. J. Covell or
Mг. W.G. Tucker is qualified for the appointment.
Mr. C. R. Keyte is a capable officer with the requisite experience in wireless work and he has proved a good administrator in Somaliland. We observe that in the Governor's letter of February 9th it is proposed that the appointment should be on probation for one year, and thi a
We may mention
may be a bar to Mr. Keyte's application. that we understand Mr. Keyte is being considered for an appointment under the Soudan Government. He is not a mem- ber of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, but we do not think this should prevent his selection in view of his wide experience in Wireless Telegraphy.
