GOVERNMENT HOUSE.

HONGKONG, 23rd. May, 1913.

211

I have the honour to inform you that I have come to the conclusion that it is necessary to strengthen the Staff of the Registrar-General's Department as from 1st. January, 1914, by the addition of a Cadet Officer in Class II to be designated First Assistant. The other two Assistants can then be called 2nd. and 3rd. Assistants.

2.

From my own observation I am able to assure

you that since my assumption of this Government Hir. E. R. Hallifax has on many days in each week not been able to leave his office till between 6 and 7 p.m. I see no prospect of his work becoming lighter. A great deal of his time is taken up by daily interviews with members of the Chinese Community. It is essential that the Registrar-General should be easily accessible to all Chinese with complaints, and to all Chinese of the better class whether their business is or is not apparently important and whether in fact the visit is or is not in connection with any particular business at all. These interviews have no doubt been more frequent since the revolution in China. But I see no prospect of the number diminish- -ing materially in the near future, for it will take many years for China to settle down to a normal condition.
