condition that ought not to be omitted from consider- ation. The rent of distant houses plus travelling expenses to and fro is often less than the rent of equally good houses where little or no travelling is necessitated; Paipo or Pokfulam Gap may be distanced. But the members of the Service who have economised in this direction receive no relief for that part of their rent which appears as travelling expenses. Permission may however be applied for to spend the money necessary to move to a more expensive house, where the Government will pay the enhanced rent and there will be no travelling expenses. The Government, that is, is prepared to pay what now appears as tra- velling expenses, but not until the Civil Servant has been put to the expense of moving and has brought those travelling expenses under the nominal heading of rent.
