My Lord,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONG KONG

26th August, 1929.

I have the honour to inform Your Lordship

that in connection with the preparation of the report of

the River Steamers Commission, 1928, published as

Sessional Paper No. 5 of 1929, a good deal of additional

work was done out of office hours by the officers

responsible for the stenography and secretarial work, viz.

Miss Hardinge and Mr. C. J. Roe the Stenographer and

Office Assistant respectively of the Harbour Master's

Department.

2.

To recompense these officers for the overtime

thus worked I propose to award them honoraria, and I

consider that the amounts of $50 to the Stenographer and

$100 to the Secretary would be appropriate.

The Stenographer's salary is at present $3,000

per annum and the Secretary's £490 per annum.

3.

I should be glad if Your Lordship would approve

the making of payments accordingly.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most qbedient, humble servant,
