I have the honour to forward a copy of an
application from three Medical Officers for an increase of
their house allowance.
2. I attach a list of the Civil ser-
vants who are in receipt of House Allowance showing the a-
mount received and the amount paid by them. The statement of
Drs.Lowson, Thomson, and Clark is correct as to the rise in
house rents in HongKong of late years.
3. A question is involved whether House
Allowance is supposed to cover the actual rent of a house or
not. If it is, then the allowance granted to gentlemen in the
position of the applicants is inadequate.
4. I find that the lodging allowance gran
ted to Majors in the Royal Army Medical Corps who it may be
presumed are married men is $2.50 per diem for the lower lew
els in HongKong.
5. I recommend that the House allowance
of the following public Officers be increased to ₫ 50 per
month.-
