They most respectfully suggest that such

an inferiority does in fact occur in the

salary scales for their Department

recently proposed by the Anomalies

Committee.

They beg to point out that the West

African Scales may be said to consist

of three parts, a 15 year time scale,

a 4 year "senior grade" scale, and

certain enumerated superscale posts.

The proposed scales for Hong Kong,

however, consist of only two parts, 2.

15 year time scale, and an incremental

Headmasters scale.

If this Headmaster's scale is to be

regarded as a sucer scale then it is

your petitioners' humble contention that

no provision has been made in the Hong

Kong scales for a grade equivalent to

that of the Senior Grade in West Africa.

If, on the other hand, the Headmasters'

scale is to be regarded as the senior

grade of the time scale, then Hong Kong

cannot be said to possess any super

scale posts.

It will be seen therefore that, whichever

view is taken, the proposed scale for

Hong Kong is inferior to that of West

Africa.
