It appears there is a significant OCR error in the provided text. After re-organizing and correcting the text according to the given rules, the output is as follows:
In response to Mr. Masson's application, which has been received through the Executive Council, it is unfortunate that the revenue of Hong Kong is at present unequal to its expenditure, and that it is impossible to make any increase of salaries under such circumstances. However, whenever the local Authorities may have reduced their expenditures within their income, it will be open to them to recommend an increase in the pay of any Officers which may appear to them justly entitled to an augmentation.
It may not be a bad suggestion that the Officers themselves should realise that this is the condition of success?
April 21, 1852. The reply to Mr. Mason's request for an addition to his Salary is that there may be no objection to it.
