GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG, 22nd. September, 1911.

I have the honour to forward the enclos-

Nave dr

-ed copy of a letter addressed to me by Mr. N. G. Nolan, Chief

Interpreter of the Supreme Court, the record of whose services

will be found on page 322 of the Hongkong Civil Service List

for 1911.

2.

Mr. Nolan's complaint is not the scale

of his salary, but the fact that, after long and exemplary

service of 21 years, a further period of 15 years' service is

required of him before he can reach his maximum salary. I am of

opinion that Mr. Nolan owing to his excellent character and

linguistic attainments has a strong claim for liberal considera-

-tion and I have, therefore, subject to your approval, provided

salary at the rate of £420 per annum for him in next year's

Estimates and I further recommend that he should receive his increments

E RIGHT HONOURABLE
