postal official.

Similarly I am doubtful whether the maximum salary provided for the Accountant and the Superintendent of the Money Order Office is quite enough; and I incline to think that a further increment of £25 should be given. The Examining Supervisors have, as you are aware, been appointed on salaries of £200 per annum rising to £245 but I do not object to their being placed on the scale now proposed, viz: £230 per annum rising to £280 by triennial increments of £25

17.

In agreeing to the salaries of the various postal appointments referred to in paragraph 7 of the despatch being fixed in sterling, I must not be understood to express any opinion as to whether or not these positions should hereafter be filled by officers selected from this country.

No definite proposal to that effect has as yet been submitted.

18. As regards the Police appointments, I propose to adopt for Hong Kong rated?
