CO129-292 - Governor Sir Blake - 1899 [6-8] — Page 209

CO129 Colonial Office Hong Kong Records 理藩院香港檔案 All AI Reviewed

The Lowe ought now to be aware of this application without expression of the opinion, and he would have seen these papers well.

We must certainly refer back to this memorandum, but in the meantime I don't entirely favour the idea of attacking the allowance of this appointment simply because I have doubts about it; unless it can be shown that $44.80 a month is an unreasonable sum for an officer in his position, with his salary, I do not see a strong case.

We are faced with a general application for increases of salary pay from the entire Hong Kong service, with this impending I think we should await the outcome of any pending increases in expenditure.

CPZ 23/0 Ask for the Governor's views, but say that unless he thinks the case a strong one, it cannot be very strongly countenanced at present.
