128. Locally Trained Nurses. For Probationers we consider the present scale is adequate but, we understand, the course of training has now been extended to four years and suggest therefore a scale of $480 to $630 by $60 annually. On passing their final examination they become eligible for appointment as Staff Nurses; for them we consider $900, rising to $1,080 by $60 annually to be adequate, and for Charge Nurses $1,200 to $1,500 alsó by $60 annually. The School Nurse should receive $1,440 to $1,740 by $60 annually.
129. For the Linen Maid we consider a scale of $1,200, rising by $60 annually to $1,500, to be adequate.
130. Dispensers. A scheme has recently been prepared for the training of dis- pensers in Government Service. We endorse the scheme and consider it essential that a good class of youth be attracted for this kind of work. The sum at present paid to Apprentice Dispensers is wholly inadequate: we consider that a proper scale is that now in force for Probationer Dressers, namely $480, rising by $60 annually to $660. After they have passed their examinations we consider they are entitled to expect a higher salary and suggest therefore for Class VI Dispensers 8900 to $1,080 by $60 annually. and for Class V Dispensers $1,200 to $1,80) by $100 annually.
131. The Office Staff should be paid as follows :—
$252 to $300 |

134. The Head Attendant at the Mental Hospital should be placed on the seule of £475, rising to £575 by £20 annually and the Assistant Attendant on £370 to £130 by £15 annually. For the Female Attendant we consider a suitable scale would be $1,500, rising by $50 annually to $1,800.
135. The Chinese Resident Surgeon at the Tung Wal Hospital and the Chinese Medical Officer, New Territories, should receive the scale suggested for Chinese Medical Officers-$4,500 to $7,500 by $300 annually.
For Midwives we recommend $420, rising by ×30 annually to 8660,
The Dressers in the New Territories are, we understand, untrained; they resemble Wardboys rather than the qualified Dressers. We recommend therefore the following
scules, 1 at $312 to $360 and 3 at $252 to s300 by $12 after 3, 6, 9 and 12 years.
132. Dressers. We consider the present seule for Probationer Dressers to be adequate, namely 3 180 to 8660 by $60 annually. As with Dispensers, however, we consider that on finishing their training they should receive a higher salary and suggest the same scales as given for Dispensers namely:
Staff Dressers
and Charge Dressers
$ 900 to $1,080 by $60 annually.
$1,200 to $1,800 by $100
133. For the Subordinate Chinese Staff in the Hospitals we recommend the fol- lowing scales. Except where otherwise stated the scales set out in this paragraph are intended to rise by $12 after 3, 6, 9 and 12 years service.

$312 to $360.
service.
Amalis: -$228 to $276, with the exception of the Analis in the Mental Hos- pital, the Maternity Bungalow at the Civil Hospital, the Victoria Maternity Hospital and the Peak Hospital who should receive $264. rising to $360 by $24 after 3, 6, 90 and 12.

The Chinese Medical Officers attached to the Office of the Health Officer of the Pon should be on the scale of $4,500 to $7,500 by $300 annually.
The appointments of Public Vaccinators have appeared to us to be of the nature of a “blind alley" occupation. On that account, though we consider the minimum salary now offered to be adequate, we have extended the maximum and suggest a seale of × 480. rising to $1,200 by $60 annually,
The Office Attendant should receive $192 to 8210 and Coolie & 156 to $204 by $12 in each case after 3, 6, 9 and 12 years,
137. The scale recommended for the Bacteriologist is £920, rising by £10 an- nually to #1.280 and for the Assistant £860 to £1.220. also by £40 annually.

138. The salaries of the Analysts were also revised last year along with those of Medical Officers, the maximum of the Analyst being extended from £750 to £900 and that of the Assistant Analysts from 2000 to £700. The minimum of the Analyst's seale was however only raised from £600 to £625 and remained therefore below the new maximum of the Assistant Analysts. We suggest the following scales :-
Analyst £850 to £1,050 by £40 annually;
Assistant Analysts £500 to £800 by 5 annual increments of £25, 2 of £50 and 3 of £25.
