RL 25 APR 31

The Governor desires to submit to the Council that in the Estimates for this year, the salary of the Governor has not been inserted in the manner proposed by the Secretary of State. In his Despatch No. 108 of the 18th of June, 1890, the Secretary of State proposed that the Governor's salary should be voted on the Estimates at the rate of $32,000 inclusive of entertainment allowance, although when on half pay or vacation leave the Governor will receive salary at the rate of $12,500 and $25,000 respectively.

The reason for fixing the actual salary at $32,000 is, as mentioned by the Secretary of State, to better secure the position of the Governor as an Officer in charge of a First Class Government under the Governor's Pension Acts.

The Governor therefore recommends the Council to amend the Estimates in the direction indicated.

Government House, Hongkong, 17th February, 1891.
