Officers who have not accepted Sterling Salaries under the Sterling Salary Scheme will continue to draw dollar salaries during the remainder of their service in Hongkong, and so far as they are concerned the salaries of all appointments to which they are promoted will conti- nue to be fixed in dollars.

A non-pensionable addition of 25% is made to the salaries of those officers whose posts are in the Sterling Salary Schere, who having been appointed prior to 1st. August, 1901, have not elected to come under the Scheme and are not entitled to Exchange Compensation.

i above mentine bocat-tay' is a purely local personal and non-pensionable

allowance and cannot be drawn on leave. It cannot be drawn by an acting officer in a post the incumbent of which enjoys such allowance.

Officers on dollar salaries holding posts not included in the Sterling Salary Scheme when acting in a Sterling post draw half their own pay and half the initial salary of the Sterling post.
