Colonial Chaplain is £800 as salary from the Colonial Government, and

in account of Fees. Perhaps

£75

may

be allowed to point out that considerably more than half of this total income, £875, is absorbed by four items of necessary Expenditure - House Rent with Rates amounts to nearly £200 per annum. Servants, exclusive of chair coolies allowed by the Government, £120. Life Assurance Premia on £1600, with license to reside in China, Standard Life Assurance Society, £90. Return

of £100 per

annum

for

£1000

borrowed

to bring out Chaplain and family to Hong Kong, with interest on balance unpaid (£600). To allowance for passage or outfit having been made by Government, £130. This total of £540 being deducted

leaves to the Colonial Chaplain a balance of £335 only, for all household (with the above exceptions) and personal expenses for a family consisting of two adults and four children.

2. The Colonial Chaplain's predecessors have never paid House Rent. The Revd Dr Irwin lived in a house, the rent of which was given to him by Messrs Jardine Matheson & Co.
