that it would only cover the cost of travelling and transport.

We supposed that, as is usually the case, those working up

country would have free temporary quarters.

5.

We think it should also be borne

in mind that those members of the staff working up country have

to go through very considerable hardships and that they should

be given every consideration with regard to the quarters which

have been provided, and that no rent should be demanded.

6.

With reference to the case of Mr.

Eves and the other members of the staff who have to reside in

Kowloon the same remarks apply as to the consolidated allowance

and it was not known that they would not be provided with

quarters. In fact the matter was one of uncertainty. As events

have shown they have to live at Kowloon for the good of the

work and communication with the Government, and within reason-

-able limits they may be held to have taken the risk of this

obligation. But when the dearness of quarters at Kowloon is

considered amounting to from 16 to 20 per centum of their income

it appeared to us a case of hardship which should be met and we

accordingly recommended that about one half of their rent

should be defrayed by the Government.

18.

With regard to the second point,

we think it should be remembered that those employed on the

construction of the Railway only hold a temporary appointment

and accordingly receive a higher salary than those holding a

permanent position. Further, it should be remembered that those

holding a permanent Government appointment qualify for a pension

while those holding only a temporary one do not.

We therefore repeat our recommenda

-tions; first, that Mr. Eves be granted a House Allowance of

£100 per annum, secondly, that those members of his staff

resident in Kowloon should be granted an allowance of £60 per

annum, and thirdly, that no rent should be charged for the temporary quarters which have been assigned to those members of

the
