would be £611 per annum.
(1) European Schoolmasters 'pensions would be
£497 per annum.
(c) Assistant Government Marine Surveyors'
pensions would be ₤366 per annum.
and on the proposed scale put forward by us
£461 per annum. These figures are approximate
and exclude rent allowɑnce addition, and take
into consideration the pension based on average
years of Service. It is sufficient, however,
to indicate a grave disparity in this vital
matter, which we feel sure Your Lordship will
egree must be viewed with concern by us .
In conclusion, te humbly entreat
Your Lordship's most earrest consideration, and
with full confidence in the justice of our
petition, we now respectfully request that pend-
ing the receipt of Your Lordship's reply, the
Hong Kong Government be asked to refrain from
making any alteration to our present salaries,
in the event of the new scale being introduced
in the meantime.
