FROM SIR. ALEX. BINNIE, SON & DEACON, TO THE CROWN AGENTS.
Letter No. 4.

5th October, 1932.

Gentlemen,
Hong Kong Water
Shing Mun Valley Scheme.
As we have recommended the engagement of Mr. L.W. Innes
for the position of Senior Assistant Resident Engineer, we now
recommend that Mr. J.G. Campbell should be seconded from P.W.D.
Hong Kong for service as Junior Assistant Resident Engineer, the
period of such service being for the duration of construction or
such shorter period as he may be required, but subject to a month's
notice to be given by the Resident Engineer to the Government.
Mr. Campbell is now being paid at the rate of £610 per
annum, and it is recommended that he should receive any increments
to which he is entitled under his Agreement, together with Duty
Pay at the rate of £100 per annum whilst engaged on the Shing Mun
Scheme, together with such transport allowance as may be arranged
locally not exceeding $75 a month.
It would be a great convenience and economy if you could
arrange by cable for Mr. Campbell to be available to receive
instructions from us as from November 10th next. Mr. Hull is due
to arrive in the Colony on November 17th, and pending the completion
of office accommodation and quarters on the site, he will have to
make use of temporary offices in Kowloon, and, amongst other
matters, we would wish Mr. Campbell to locate suitable alternative
accommodation for Mr. Hull's selection on arrival.
We are, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servants,
SIR ALEX. BINNIE SON & DEACON.
(Initialled) H.J.F.G.
