Inclo. in Sir 2, Satow's No. 87 of February 28th, 1906. 283

Kiungchow, February 3rd, 1906.

Sir,
In reply to your circular of January 10th, I have the honour to report on the postal management of the Hongkong Postal Agency at this port as follows:-
The Office of the Agency adjoins the Consular Office, occupying what is virtually the verandah on the west side of the Consulate, as shown in the accompanying sketch. The public entrance to both offices is identical, but they are otherwise quite distinct. With the exception of a writing desk which is the property of the Office of Works, the furniture and other articles used by the Agency have been supplied by the General Post Office Hongkong.
The constable Mr. W.F. Canning is Postal Agent and performs all the office postal work. He receives a salary of $35 a month.
A postman at $10 and a coolie at $6 a month are employed for outdoor work, e.g. delivery of mails, carrying mail bags and boxes, circulation of mail notices, etc.
The Consul sees that the Postal Agent renders his accounts and remits any balance in hand to the Hongkong Office at the end of each month.
The present working of the Agency is, I believe, satisfactory to the public and to the Postmaster General Hongkong.
I have etc.,
(Signed)
M. Hughes.
Acting Consul.
