Class II. House allowances for the Assistant Surgeons and the Medical Officer of Health have been incorporated with their salaries.
Class IV. The Assistant Postmaster-General has been placed in this class, as the appointment will probably in future fall to one of the Cadet class.
Class V. The Assistant Superintendents of Police have been placed in this class, as these posts will usually be filled by Cadets. The privilege of free quarters makes these offices equivalent to a Class IV office. The Marine Surveyors have been put on an incremental salary, as also the Sanitary Surveyor and the Postmaster at Shanghai.

With reference to some of the departmental salaries, I may say that the Post Office salaries have recently been revised owing to the recommendations of the Unofficial Salaries Committee, and the Sterling salaries are based upon those recommendations. The Lighthouse Keepers in the Harbour Department have been given triennial increments, and similar salaries have been fixed in the case of each Lighthouse. The salaries of the Medical Department are based to a large extent on the salaries proposed by the Straits Settlements. Ration, light and fuel allowances are to be merged in salaries. The salaries of the Chief Inspectors of Police have been increased so as to put them on a fairer footing as compared with similar Officers in the Singapore Police. The Constables have been put on an initial salary of £100, as it is thought that an impetus will thereby be given to the recruiting of a good class of Englishmen. The present system of dollar salaries and Exchange Compensation causes confusion among likely applicants.
