It is submitted that the duty allowance

of £50 per annum for Senior Masters

included in the proposed scales in no

way compensates for this inferiority

because such an allowance, being non-

pensionable, does not bring the holder

above the 15 Year Time Scale. It cannot,

therefore, be regarded as promotion

similar to that obtainable on the West

African scales.

Your petitioners would respectfully

suggest that there are posts in Hong Kong

(Two Inspectorships, Headmasterships of

queen's College, King's College and Central British School) which are of

corresponding responsibility, demand

equal administrative ability, and should

therefore be accorded comparable salaries

to those granted for super scale posts

in West Africa.

It is their further submission that

Junior Headmasterships in Hong Kong

(Headmaster ships of Ellis Kadoorie Indian

School, Ellis Kadoorie Chinese School,

Wantsai 3chool and Yaumati School) are

posts of sufficient importance and

responsibility to merit for their holders

remuneration on a scale equivalent to

that of the Senior Grade of the West

African Scales.
