"Assistant Land Officer at Hongkong", and at that date Mr.am

G. H. Wakeman, the Assistant Land Officer at Hongkong, was

drawing a dollar salary of $3,600. Mr. Lyttelton also

ruled in the Despatch under reference that the sterling

equivalent of the dollar salary should be £440 rising to

£500 by triennial increments of £30.

Despatch No. 169 of the 30th. August, 1905, appointed Mr.

aw

P. Jacks to be Assistant Land Officer in Hongkong on

sterling salary of £420 rising to £540 by triennial

increments of £40: and accordingly from that date the

exception previously taken to the grant of an incremental

rising to $4,200 by triennial Increments of $300 with

effect from the 30th. August, 1905.
