GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG, 9th January, 1931.

Fon 62911/29

My Lord,

I have the honour to refer to paragraph

6 of Sir Cecil Clementi's despatch No.420 of the 26th of September, 1929, on the subject of the provision of

a new printing shop at Victoria Gaol.

2.

In accordance with the undertaking to

which reference is made in that paragraph, the members of the Finance Committee were in March 1930 requested

to give this matter their further consideration and it

was thereupon agreed, with only one unofficial member

dissenting, that the work should be proceeded with.

The salary-scales provided for the

European staff of the printing shop in the 1930 Estimates

were, however, on an unrevised basis and the question

of their revised equivalents was, with many other problems

arising on the application of the Salaries Report,

3.

referred by me to an Anomalies Committee which has

recommended the following revised scales:-

Principal Printing Officer -

£450 per annum rising by £20 per annum to £470.

LORD PASSFIELD,

Assistant Principal Printing Officer

£380 per annum rising by 4 annual increments

of £15 and 1 of £10 to £450 per annum.

Printing Officers

-

£230 per annum rising by 5 annual increments

of £10, 2 of £20 and 5 of £10 to £370 per

annum.

I concur in these recommendations and request Your

Lordship's sanction to make payment accordingly both

for 1930 and for 1931, as the Estimates for the latter

year were also in this case framed on an unrevised

basis pending the report of the Committee which could

not be completed before the introduction of the budget.

I have the honour to be,

الله
