instructions upon them.

The Senior Engineering Staff of
the Kowloon-Canton Railway are serving upon Agreements
drawn up by the Crown Agents in which a certain rate of
pay is fixed in each case, and in addition Messrs. Eves,
Logan, Valpy, and Steen are granted a "Consolidated Allow-
-ance" at a specified rate "which shall include travelling
expenses of every kind incurred in the performance of
their duties". (see copy enclosed.) It is not clear
whether this phraseology was intended to embrace any other
possible claims all of which were to be "Consolidated" and
of which travelling allowance was only one, or whether it
was intended to refer solely to the latter in which case a
"fixed travelling allowance" would appear to have been a
more suitable term than "Consolidated Allowance"
