Sir,

Government House, 21 (BV 01

Hongkong, 14th October, 1901.

In continuation of my telegram of the

138

8th instant, I have the honour to request that, as the

salary of £180 rising by annual increments of £15 to £249

appears to be insufficient to attract candidates to fill the

2 posts of Examining Supervisors in the Hongkong Post Office,

the amount of the salary offered may be increased to $150

a month rising incrementally to $180. Reliable men of this

class would be very useful, and I do not think that an

increase of $360 per annum should prove an insuperable

obstacle to the creation of appointments which have already

received your sanction.

2.

In connection with the other proposed

increases in the Staff of the Hongkong Post Office, I trans-

mit for your consideration the enclosed copy of a letter from

Commander Hastings, together with a report which he has drawn

up on the increases in the Post Office Staff between the 15th

February, 1899, and this date. I also attach a schedule show-

ing in parallel columns the recommendations which I have made

and the extent to which these recommendations have received

Moure to
