Sir,
WESTMINSTER,
LONDON, SW. 1.
10th September, 1924.
With reference to your letters of the 25th of Gi
Gr June, No 26394/24 and 12th of July, No.32379/1924 authorising us to proceed inter alia with the selection of four Engineers (Architects) for the Architectural Office
of the Hong Kong Public Works Department, I have the honour
to report that these vacancies have been advertised twice
in the Public Press with disappointing results. Of the
candidates who applied it was only possible to select one
and he failed to pass the medical examination.
2. We have been acting in conjunction with Mr.
L.D. Martyn in this matter and a copy of a letter which he
has written to us on the subject has been sent to the
Colonial Office semi-officially.
3. In the past we have found difficulty in procuring
candidates to fill similar vacancies, and it has only been
after repeated advertisement, and considerable delay that
we have succeeded to doing so.
It appears to us, therefore, that the scale of
salary should be improved, and I would suggest that we should
be authorised to offer £500 £20 £600 a year.
Under Secretary of State, Colonial Office,
S.W.1.

I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
Wah Wichhar!
for Crown Agents.
