In Hongkong the extraallowances to be earned are much higher than

in London and morried families have free quarters, light, fuel and

water compered to small allowances for some of these privileges in

the metropolitan Force.

The extras earned by members of the Police Force are

considerable; they are those (1) paid by private individuals and

(2) those paid by Government. Of those paid by private individuals,

they are made up by attendance at Theatres, Cinematograph Theatres, special watch on steamers with dangerous, valuable and other goods.
