accounting at Wanchai Stores and to organise the proper

running system of the Stores in connection thereto. I

carried out this work successfully for over 2 years without any further complaint from other departments.

Then on the eve of separation of Accounts from Stores,

of this department was again felt, and I was recalled

back to Account Section as Senior Clerk in charge,

directly responsible to Mr. Bendall, the Accountant of

P.W.D. (It may be noted that Clerks in Charge of Accounts

Office and Stores Office before me were both in the

Higher Class of the J.C.S., from which I am now left out). Qualifications.- Possess certificates for commercial English and

correspondence, book-keeping, physics, high mathematics,

sanitary science, and three certificates in Cantonese

which I am able to speak fluently (but no allowance).
