My present yearly official emoluments as Colonial Surgeon are £609, as Inspector of Hospitals under the Contagious Disease Ordinance £180, Allowance for Bills of Health £400, and chair allowance £60, making an aggregate of £880. In addition to this, my private practice has, for the last eight years, brought me in excess of £1,000, exceeding my official pay. I would, however, be prepared to give up this source of income upon the Government fixing my official salary at £1,200 a year with a House Allowance such as may be deemed fit, and a chair allowance of £60, and upon condition of its defraying the cost of a locum tenens during any absence of mine on the yearly vacation leave to which all officers are entitled, which at half pay rate would be £100.
