With reference to my Despatch No. 98 of the 20th of March last.
1 it seems desirable to determine now who are the higher Officers, if any, whose salaries have been
Of fixed at a lower rate in consideration of the exceptional
privilege of free quarters, who according to paragraph 2 (A)
of your Despatch to Sir F. Swettenham, copy of which was en-
closed in your Despatch No. 5 of the 3rd January last will
be allowed to reckon the value of their quarters for pension,
and I have to submit to you that in this Colony it cannot be
said that the salaries of any of the higher Officers of the
Prison, Hospitals, or Police have been fixed at a lower rate
in consideration of the exceptional privilege of free quarters,
and that it may therefore be laid down as a rule in Hongkong
that no officers will be allowed to reckon the value of their
quarters for pension.

Regarding the claims of Officers who enjoy
free quarters and who were appointed prior to the date of your
Despatch under reference, I am of opinion that the Principal
Civil Medical Officer and Dr. J. Bell, Assistant Surgeon, who
enjoy free quarters, and Dr. J. C. Thomson who enjoys a house
allowance, receive such substantial increases under the
