I have the honour to request your authority
to make provision in the Estimates for 1904 for an increase of
$3 a month in the allowances paid to Chinese detectives in
the Police Force. At present they receive $2 a month only,
beyond their pay as constables, and I am of opinion that this
is insufficient, and that the suggested increase will lead to
greater zeal and efficiency than exists at present in the
detective branch of the Force. I understand that $5 a month
is the allowance paid to Chinese detectives in the Straits
Settlements Police Force, and that the result in that Colony
is sufficiently satisfactory to justify a similar rate in
Hongkong. The increase in annual expenditure involved is
$2,304.
