No.231.

Government House

Hong-Kong, 18th June, 1901.

Sir,

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt

of your despatch No.145 of 26th April, 1901, regarding certain

salaries proposed to be paid to teachers in the Belilios Public School.

2. As regards paragraph 2 of that despatch, I

have to point out that while the proposed increase in the salaries of the Head Mistress and First Assistant Mistress has

the effect of more than doubling those salaries, the increase

in their emoluments is not relatively so great, when it is remembered that these ladies were drawing $50 and $15 a month

each for house allowance, which will not be drawn under the new

scheme which has been advanced.

3. Including house allowance, the emoluments of

the Head Mistress amounted to $150 a month and those of the

Assistant Mistress to $75 a month. The proposal to increase

these to personal emoluments of $200 and $135 a month with

triennial increments which will ultimately secure to these two

officers a salary of $250 and $175 a month respectively, is

therefore by no means out of the way.

The Right Honourable
