Head 2, C.S.0. and Legislature.
The Secretary of State was requested to select one candidate for the Cadet Service consequent on Mr. Lloyd's death. Since then we have learnt that we are losing another Cadet Officer on transfer to another Colony, but it is not proposed to recruit any one in his place. Footnotes (4) and (5) make it clear I think that the Cadet Staff of the Secre- tariat does not consist of nine officers, but of five only.
Head 4- Treasury.
I have already explained the reasons for the
increases in the staff of this department. The addressograph equipment under Special Expenditure is required for additional plates etc. for addresses, and a cabinet in which to store them.
Head 6 District Office, Forth.
The rating of the New Territories will entail the keeping and posting of registers and an additional clerk will be required for this work. He is shown under the three Class VIB Clerks.
Head 8, Post Office and Tireless.
(A) Post Office.
Two new postal kiosks, similar to that at Kowloon City which has been so successful, are to be erected next year at Hunghom and Sai Wan lio. Better postal deliveries are also to be given to Kowloon City, Shou Son Hill and Stanley. This means small increases in the numbers of Class VI Postal Clerks and third class Postmen, and on sub-heads 3 "Cleansing Materials"; and 5, "Incidental expenses".
