Sir John Wolfe Barry and Partners to Crown Agents.

Gentlemen,

285

21, Delahay Street, Westminster,

17th. May, 1907.

Kowloon-Canton Railway British Section.

We wish to draw your attention to paragraphs

12, 13 and 14 of Mr. Eves' general letter No. 21 dated 10th.

January, 1907. Mr. Eves in this letter asks that his Chief

Storekeeper, Assistant Engineer on the Kowloon-Section and he himself should be given a house allowance in view of the large

proportion of their salaries which they have to pay away in

house rent through the necessity of their living in Kowloon,

while the other members of the engineering staff have free

quarters provided for them.

We consider this a fair application and

would therefore recommend that Mr. Eves be given a house allowance of £100 per annum, and his Chief Storekeeper and Assistant Engineer on the Kowloon Section an allowance of £60 per

annum, to date from the time when they took up their residence

at Kowloon.

We understand that in similar cases in

India an allowance of this nature is generally made.

We are etc.,

(sd.) J. Wolfe Barry,

for Sir John Wolfe Barry and Partners.
