With reference to your Despatch No. 282
Of the 3rd. September last and previous correspondence on the
subject of the Staff of the Colonial Secretary's Office, I
have the honour to inform you that Mr. F. F. Remedios, 3rd.
Clerk, has retired on pension eving to ill health.
His pension was reduced from $451.14 to $400 be-
cause the Head of the Department was unable to certify that
he had discharged his duties in an entirely satisfactory
manner.
2.
I have now to recommend that Mr. F. X. H.
Rozario, 4th, Clerk, be promoted to be 3rd. Clerk on a salary
of $1,200 rising to $1,800 per annum and that the 5th., 6th.,
and 7th. Clerks he each promoted a step in consequence at
their present rate of pay.
For the vacancy thus created in the 7th. Clerkship,
I have provisionally and subject to veur approval appointed
Mr. Fung Yuk-Kau, Clerk and Interpreter at the Gaol, who has
8 years' service and is a deserving Officer.
3.
Mr. Remedios was employed in the Registry
and the most suitable Officer both on account of training and
nationality to take his place is Mr. F. Rapp, 8th. (Temporary)
Clerk
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN,
