Government House,

Hongkong, 23rd. June, 1909.

In view of the necessity which

unfortunately exists for raising additional Revenue next

year in order to meet the Expenditure, I appointed a

Committee to report as to any means by which Retrenchment

in the Expenditure of the Colony might be effected.

Committee consisted of Mr. 7. H. May, C.M.G.,

The

the Colonial

Secretary, Mr. A. M. Thomson, the Colonial Treasurer,

Mr. C. Mcl. Messer, the Postmaster-General, who has at

various times acted as Treasurer, and Mr. Murray Stewart

at that time representing the Chamber of Commerce in the

Legislative Council. The latter gentleman was last year

selected by the Unofficial Members to reply to the speech

in which I introduced the Estimates and in the course of

his remarks he stated that he and his colleagues were not

satisfied that some curtailment of Expenditure was not

possible. Their report is engaging my careful attention.
