I understand that Dr. Jackson will reach
retiring age in about five years' time and for this reason, if Your Lordship concurs in Dr. Wellington's proposals and
if the High Commissioner of the Federated Malay States sees
no objection, I think it preferable that he should be
transferred rather than seconded. In the case of Mr. Dep
also I consider that permanent transfer is better, if it can
be arranged, since he will be expected to take in hand the
training of Chinese assistants for anti-malarial work.
however, there should be any difficulty about Mr. Dep's
transfer it might be sufficient to second him for not less
than three years.

If,
As these officers would come here to
inaugurate a new branch of the Medical Department, I should
be prepared to agree to the following salary arrangements, though they would be anomalous with any at present existing
in the Medical Department. Dr. Jackson would continue on
his present pensionable Straits-dollar salary, plus his
special allowance for the Diploma of Public Health, converted into Hong Kong dollars at the rate of the day. He would also be paid the 20% cost of living bonus on salary, which
is payable in Malaya and on leave, in lieu of any temporary exchange compensation payable in this Colony. He would be charged rent for occupation of Government quarters or receive rent or lodging allowance in lieu on the basis of his
pensionable salary and in accordance with Hong Kong General
Orders, and he would in all other respects be treated in
accordance with Hong Kong General Orders. Mr. Dep would
similarly be paid the equivalent in Hong Kong dollars of his present Malayan salary and continue for the present on that salary scale and be eligible for treatment in regard to rent allowance in accordance with Hong Kong General
Orders

Orders. I am enquiring of the Federated Malay States Government regarding the salaries paid to these officers
and the increments or allowances for which they become
eligible.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient
humble servant,
Governor, &c.
