accordance with ordinary social conditions.

It might be thought rather much to increase the salary all at once from $4,800 to $7,800 a year but a substantial increase should be permanently affixed to the post.

Director of Public Works.

This officer's work is largely increased and he ought to have $700 a month.

Postmaster General.

The work to be done here is larger than in Singapore. The office is especially underpaid when it is considered that it is a most vexatious office with very irregular times of duty.

Assistant Registrar General.

The difference is small and there is no reason why the small increase should be withheld. The pay was not raised in 1891.

Harbour Master and Assistant Harbour Master.

These officers draw rather more than the officers in Singapore.

It might be urged that this is a much larger port with many more duties to perform.
