You 9517

Since writing my Despatch No. 59 of the 13. 3rd. ultimo on the subject of Mr. Young Hee's salary, I have

received your Despatch No. 16 of the 16th. January last on

the subject of the Sterling Scheme of Salaries. I propose to

take into consideration the Sterling Salary to be given to Mr.

Young Hee in conjunction with the question of fixing Sterling

Salaries for other Officers holding non-clerical posts the

salaries of which exceed $1,200 per annum and I shall address

you separately on the subject.

3.

I enclose for your consideration and ap-

proval a statement, in the form of a Supplementary Estimate,

of the expenditure which I have authorised during the current

year out of the lump sum of $20,000 voted on the Estimates for improvements in Education. I have included in the statement

the salaries of the new Masters who have been added to the

Department, but a separate vote will be taken in the Legisla-

tive Council for their salaries in accordance with your
