Mr Lucas. Sink Herband

The Salaries of the Higher officers in

HongKong

were

increased 35% in 1890, & in 1894

Exchange Compensation was added, which at the

present rate of Exchange means

a further addition

of 20% of their Salaries. I do not think we need local Committee as proposed in 23176

to consider how far the cost of living has increased

as I remember that the similar Committee which sat in 1889 goes

help.

We have recently in

regarded

the

services of Hong Kong the Straits Setts and the F.M.S.

& as part of that policy a few months Salaries in the native State

were revised so as to

be brought on to a level with the Straits Setts.

A similar gradual

assimilation of Salaries between Hong Kong the Straits was proposed in last para: of

Despatch on 23710 to take effect

as far as permitted.

It is possible that the cost of living at Hong Kong is

somewhat greater in Hong Kong than in the Straits,

as here averred, but it would be difficult to

adjust Salaries exactly

in proportion to the cost

of living & therefore I would not take that

into

consideration
