House Allowance.

With reference to our previous

correspondence with regard to House Allowance for Mr. Eves and

those of his Assistants resident in Kowloon, and our interview

with Sir Ernest Blake on the 3rd. instant, Mr. Eves in his

general letter No. 38 dated 24th. August encloses copies of

correspondence which he has had with the Colonial Secretary at

Hongkong, and begs us to ask for a further consideration of the

matter.

those members of the staff residing up country should be also

charged a rental for the quarters which have been built for

them.

3.

The chief arguments raised by the

Colonial Secretary against granting a House Allowance and in

directing that a rental should be paid by those who have had

quarters provided for them are:-

1. That the members of the staff have been granted a

consolidated allowance, and

2. that their salaries compare favourably with

those of the permanent staff.

With regard to the first point,

when we recommended that a consolidated allowance should be

paid rather than an allowance per mile travelled, we considered
