Gentlemen,
REC
REG JUL 14
Hong Kong.
25th June, 1914.
... 89.
I am directed to inform you that it has been
noticed that in the agreements drawn up with candie-tes sel-
ected for service in this Colony, the rate for may ent of
salaries is shown ne "the average rate of the dollar "cal-
culated from the 15th day of the previous month to the "15th
day of the month for which the salary is to be onid".
2
I enclose the latest General Oruer on the subject
and I shall be glad if you will be so good as to take what-
ever stens you may consider advisable with reference thereto,
but it must be understood that the approval of the Secretary
of State to the privileged rate of exchange has only been
accorded for a period of three years, after which the metter
will be reconsidered by him,
3
It has also in some cases not been clearly stated
whether at the termination of "n agreement the officer is
entitled to a return passage to England and whether during
such passage half pay will be allowed, and I shall be glad
if you will have this made clear in all future agreements.
Such half pay would be issued at the rate of exchange current
on the date of payment.
I am, &c.
Sgd.
Edward Bullock.
Colonial Secretary.
