11. I resumed my duties on 16th November last upon returning from leave. Mr. MALSCH, who acted for me during my absence, left everything up to date, and had prepared all the necessary books and papers to enable me to at once commence upon the new valuation.
12. There has been no change in the staff, Mr. CHAN PUI, clerk, and Mr. IP YUK PUI, interpreter, having continued to perform their duties in a satisfactory manner. The former is at present acting for Mr. MOK MAN CHEUNG as Translator at the Supreme Court.
