In these circumstances I have to recommend that the posts of Assistant Superintendent of Police and Police Magistrate in the New Territories be amalgamated under the style of District Officer with a salary of $3,600 rising to $4,200 by $300 triennially (or £420 to £540 by £40 triennially or £540 to £630 if Your Lordship approves the recommendations in my Confidential Despatch of even date) with a Conveyance Allowance of $384 per annum.

The existing arrangement is open to the objection that the Officer receives the lesser remuneration for the more responsible half of his duties and that when absent on leave he receives no part of the allowance allocated to the Police Magistrate. He is thus placed in a very inferior position to other Officers of less standing in the Service and in the enjoyment of less salary while serving in the Colony.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

Officer Administering the Government.
