Goverment House,
Hongkong, (21st. October, 1902.
A
I have the honour to inform you that, in
view of paragraphs 10 and 12 of your Despatch (Straits Settle-
ments) No. 341 of the 1st. November, 1901, to Sir F. A.
Swettenham, General Sir William Gascoigne caused the fellow-
ing note (No. 12) to be placed among the notes to accompany
the Sterling Salary Scheme, forwarded to you under cover of
his Despatch No. 398 of the 4th. September, 1902)-
"Officers at present serving under agreements have the option of coming under the Sterling Scheme and will be required to accept Sterling Salaries on re-engagement".
2.
As the result of this announcement, letters
have now been received from Mr. Rees, the Principal Land
Surveyor, and from Mr. F. Masters, Assistant Overseer in the
Public Works Department, accepting the effer of Sterling
Salaries. Mr. Rees is on a Sterling Agreement før a salary of
£300, and Mr. Masters on a similar agreement før a salary of
£150, whereas the salaries provided in the Sterling Salary
Scheme for the appointments, which these Officers hold, are
£860 and £160 respectively. It is therefore as much to the
advantage of Messrs. Rees and Masters to accept the salaries
offered in the Sterling Salary Scheme, as it is to the advan-
tage of the Goverment to abide by the terms of the agreements
