sir,

With reference to your Despatch No. 43 of the

15th. February, 1917, I have the honour to inform you that I have had under consideration the appointment of a successor to lar. Bowen-

-Rowlands as Secretary to the Sanitary Board.

I have onquired into the claims of certain

officers at present in the Government Service and after careful

consideration I am of opinion that the appointment of a candidate

from outside the service will be for the best advantage of the Government and I have therefore subject to your approval offered

the post to Mr. C. M. W. Reynolds who I consider to be a suitable

candidate in every way.

kr. Reynolds is 28 years of age, married with

one child, and is at present on the Staff of the leading local

newspaper the Hongkong Daily Press- and has been employed for

the last 2 years as Hansard Reporter for the Government. Mr.

Reynolds will be available to commence duty on the 1st. October

next and pending your approval I propose to appoint him Secretary

to the Sanitary Board as from that date.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

HE RIGHT HONOURABLE

WALTER LONG, M.P.,
