RE 26 JAN 23 I have recently received a telegram from
the Auditor of Hongkong reporting that, owing to
indisposition, Mr. Dallin (the only Assistant
Auditor in that Colony since the death of Mr.
R.F.Brayn on the 20th October last) was leaving
for England on the 27th December and requesting,
with the approval of the Governor, that a second
Assistant Auditor may be appointed as soon as
possible. In the circumstances I therefore
recommend that the existing vacancy for an
Assistant Auditor, with salary at the rate of
£400 per annum rising by £25 annually to £450
and then by £50 anmally to £600 (as decided on
26406/22), may be filled by the selection of Mr.
E.Twiss, one of the Assistant Auditors on the
local audit establishment of Uganda but who, at
the present time, is in England on special leave
of absence and who I understand would welcome
this proposed transfer. Should my recommendatio
be approved I would ask that arrangements may be
made for Mr.Twiss to proceed to Hongkong by the
first steamer leaving England after the 31st
instant.
In this connection I would suggest that
the question of the abolition of the post of
Chief Clerk should be reserved for further con-
sideration when Mr. Twise has assumed duty and has
become acquainted with the actual requirements in
the Colony.
