GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG, 23rd. ilovember, 1911.

With reference to the instruction regarding

gratuities contained in Lord Crewe's Despatch No. 338 of the

3lat. December, 1909, and embodied in General Order 39(8) of

this Government, I have the honour to forward the enclosed copy

of a minute by the Director of Public Works dated the 16th.

instant and to recommend that, in view of the hard and excellent

work done by, kr. Carpenter and Hr. Xavier during Mr. Gale's

absence, they should each receive a gratuity of £60. The overtime

worked amounts to a little over 6 months (reckoning 26 working

days to the month) and the gratuity proposed £120 is therefore

at the rate of £20 per mensem. Er. Gale was, however, away for

10 months: therefore, reckoning on the basis of period of leave

instead of amount of overtime worked, the gratuity would be at the

rate of £6 per mensem to each officer.

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

Manyar
