Sir,
GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONG KONG.
4th October, 1938.
I have the honour to refer to my confidential
despatch of 6th September, 1938, forwarding the Report of the
Committee appointed to consider Anomalies arising out of the
recent introduction of new salary scales. In the course of
their deliberations the Committee considered certain personal
representations made by the senior officers of the Harbour
Department but as those did not fall exactly within their
terms of reference no recommendations were made as to them
in their Report. I now desire, however, to submit certain
proposals in this matter for your consideration.
2. The Harbour Master, Commander G. F. Hole, has
represented that he should be granted a personal allowance on
the grounds that he has no further prospect of promotion, has
been on the maximum salary of his scale, £1600, since 24th
July, 1928 and has, since 23rd February, 1929, been discharging
the duties of Director of Air Services in addition to his
ordinary duties as Harbour Master without additional
remuneration.
I do not attach much importance to the first
two grounds, e specially in the case of an officer who has been
fortunate enough to reach the head of his service early in life,
but there can be no doubt that the rapid development of air
transport has thrown a steadily increasing burden on Commander
Hole. In fact it cannot be many years before it will be necessary
to appoint a full-time Director of Air Services. I am prepared
therefore to recommend that Commander Hole be granted a personal
allowance of £200 per annum for so long as he continues to be
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
MALCOLM MACDONALD, M.P.
