35 of the Report.

Taragraph 37 It is considered that the payment from public

P

funds of the cost of the central heating plant should date from the time when the plant first came into operation ( in 1929) and this adjustment has already been made.

Paragraphs 38 - 42: Cadet Service:

The recommendations in these paragraphis are accepted, but certain proposals connected with the Cadet Service are

offered under Paragraph 163 and it is recommended that the total of seven First Class posts (Paragraph 42) should not be affected by the transfer, permanently or otherwise, of ccrtain

appointments in the Service to non-Cadet officers. The

appointment of Secretary for Chinese Affairs now raiend to

*taff" class with a fixed salary should, however, be counted

as one of the seven. The total Cadet establishment below

First Class is now 31, and seven higher appointments is not,

in my opinion, an undiy generous proportion.

Paragraphe 43 - 49: Senior Clcrical & Accounting Staff.

Faragraph 47. It is considered that the post of Chief Clerk

in the Colonial Secretary's Office should be restored to the

premier position of the whole cadre with the salary allotted by the Report to the two highest Special Appointments i.c.,

8820

81050 by seven annual increments of £30 and onc of £20.

This officer is not merely Chief Clerk of the Colonial

Scoretariat but Chief Clerk of the Government. The Commiss-

ionors do not appear to have appreciated this position and
