Hongkong, 23rd. October, 1902.
sir,
I have the honour to transmit for your
consideration the enclosed copy of a letter from the Secretary
the
A
Sanitary Board, covering a letter from the Colonial Veterina-
ry Surgeon requesting that his salary may be placed at the
rate offered by the Sterling Salary Scheme.
2.
Mr. Gibson was appointed in April last on
a salary of £450 rising to £520, whereas the salary fixed in
the Sterling Salary Scheme for the office of Colonial Veterina-
ry Surgeon is £480 rising to £600.
3.
Under these circumstances I shall be glad
to know whether it was your intention that an Officer already
appointed on a Sterling Salary should benefit by accepting
that scheme, or whether, in cases where an increase is shown
in the scheme for the salary of an Officer, it was intended
that this increase should only be granted to a future incumbent
on the next vacancy; and I have the honour to suggest that in
these cases the simplest solution of the difficulty will be
to leave the initial salary of the present incumbent unchanged,
but to raise the maximum ultimate salary to the figure offered
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.,
