To labour have not become more numerous in consequence.

Your despatch as to improvement of the hospital and accommodation at the prison has not yet been received, I request that it may be forwarded to me at the earliest convenience.

Your letter was received by me on...

Governor. No. 3 Jan 9 1897

No. 3925

(Subject.) Salary of Water Police

Last previous Paper. See proposals for increase of pay in 1092-1093.

WH &£ (73)-76420-70900-11-05

Next subsequent Paper.

DESPATCH,

Increase of their pay is insufficient to keep them.

(Minutes.)

Land Sales If these small increases are approved, the Chinese Water Police will still be paid much less than the regular Police. Rates of pay at p. Lvi of 17604/94. Enc. 17684/94

I don't quite know why the Water Police should be paid so much less than the Land Police. I would not, however, raise this point. But sanction proposals without remark to take effect from date of receipt of despatch.
