I do not think it is worth while to root out the fact is that its head is the idea of the fact to see that to the dollar or so varied never while to do so. The service has got into the hands of owners. Whatever happens initially it is to the cost of living, then to the lovers. This idea is erroneous. I submit that I could adduce evidence to show that the cost of living in London has greatly increased since the service was dentured, but I have yet to learn that the Treasury would view increased salary as an application for further ground with what the officer has done being met with anything but indignation.

The bounden duty is not to see officers' salaries thens never vary in value hal I see that they have enough to keep them in a decent and reasonable manner. No real effort has been made to show that the salaries of officers in Hong Kong are insufficient; the statements in the second memorial being merely a repetition of the allegations that the situation is rapidly deteriorating out of hand by the fall in silver.
