GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONGKONG. 4th February, 1938.
Sir,
I have the honour to refer to my despatch No.679
1.dated the 1st of November, 1937, on the subject of the
appointment of a successor to Mr. J. W. Franks, C.B.E.,
as Superintendent of Prisons.
2.
I, as I understand, there is difficulty in
2
filling the post to the best advantage at the salary
suggested in that despatch, I am prepared to recommend
that £1200 per annum should be offered. I should, however,
prefer, with a view to the future, that the basic salary
should remain at £1100 with a personal pensionable allowance
of £100, provided that those emoluments will attract the
most suitable candidate.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
In.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
A. Withern
Governor.
