INCREASE OF SALARY NOT RECOMMENDED

POSITION OF OTHER OFFICERS

The report of the Salary Cominis. sioners fur Hong Kong states:The increase by 15 per cent. of the present slarny of the Chief Justice would bring it to £2,700 per annum but the emoluments of the Chief Justice, like those of His Excellency the Governor, have been fixed in the past with special reference to the salaries par to Chief Justices in other Colonica, On that ac- count we do not consider that a exlary | exceeding £2,000 per annum should be suggested for the Chief Justiceship v2 Hong Kong. This figure, on account of the proposed reduction of the existing percentage increase of 14.4 per cont, to 15 per cent, will represent a consider. ubly lower salary than that at prosent

drawn locally by the Chief Justice. At

2/ dollar the loss will be £235.12.0 per annum in the case of a married ofheer, and £257.16.0 if he should be un married. On account of this decrease we recommend That the Chief Justice should occupy an official residence free of rent, which would reduce, but nor ulfoguther renove, the loss that this

of £1350 per annum.

The pouts of Registrar of the Supreme Court, Crown Solicitor and Land Officer are of a similar nature and for them we recommend the same salary. namely, £1,150, rising by £50 annually to 1,450 per annum. There is at present one Depoty Registrar on a special scale of salary; for him. we recommend a salary of £1,130 annum until his promotion when, we understand, the special scale will be abolished and the past will be graded along with the other Deputy Registrar the Assistant Crown Solicitors and Assistant Land Officer. For these posts we recommend a scale of £700 rising to 1970 per annum by 2 increments of £30, 2 of 60 and 9 of £30. It will be noted that in the case of these legul officers we have placed the marriage increments at an earlier stage, namely after 2 years' service only, in view of the longer training required for a legal offer and the consequent greater age
