No. 43.

HONGKONG VOLUNTEER CORPS. CONCESSIONS.

THE HONOURABLE THE COLONIAL SECRETARY,

With reference to your letter No. 1511 of 25th October last, I would suggest for the consideration of His Excellency the Governor that, as an experiment, in the first instance, the following concessions as to exemption from business for bonâ fide drill, &c. as Volunteers, be given to Public Servants, and that private firms should be asked to do the same :—

Branch.

During the six weeks special training at present fixed from 1st March to 16th April.

At other times of the year.

Field Artillery,

Saturday afternoons from 2 P.M.,

1st Saturday in each month from 2 P.M.

Machine Gun Companies, Saturday afternoons from 2 P.M.,

...

3rd Saturday in each month from 2 P.M.

Also for both branches, a complete holiday on Saturday in the week of annual mobilization of the Garrison, and that private firms should be asked to give a half-holiday to Volunteers on the afternoon of the day selected for the Queen's Birthday parade.

2. The points, however, on which the Officers of the Corps and myself lay the greatest stress are, as shewn in my memorandum of 24th October, 1893.

1st. That the Government should impress on Public Servants that it approves of their becoming Volunteers, and will facilitate as much as possible their carrying out the duties entailed on them as such.

2nd. That private firms be moved to make a similar notification to their employés.

F. JERRARD, Acting Commandant, Hongkong Volunteer Corps.
