£425-£725 for Health Inspectors and £755-£900 for Senior Health Inspectors.
4. East African scales are particularly mentioned above because laet year they were the subject of discussion with representatives of the Sanitary Inspectors Association. The ecale formerly had a maximum of £840. The Association refused to accept the Crown Agents' advertisement for that scale and as a result it was extended to £1,000. Even so the Crown Agents are unable to recruit on the minimum of the scale and can only obtain candidates who are given the benefit of several increments in the scale under the War Service Credit Scheine. In this connection it is significant that only one candidate has so far come forward for the four poste of Health Inspectors which you asked me to fill in your Savingram No. 395 staff, of the 25th October, 1949.
5. In all the circumstances, I consider that an appropriate salary scale for European Health Inspectors in Hong Kong, who have passed the examination of the Royal Sanitary Institute, should be the present scale but with a minimum of $7,200, 1.8. $7,200, $7,200, $7,680 x 480 - $9,600 a year.
