STAFF.

As it was not possible to secure the services of a trained Indian Forester whose salary at the rate of 2nd Grade clerkship had been deducted from the New Territories Forestry Vote in the Estimates for 1907, steps were taken to fill the post as efficiently as possible for the time being by the appointment of a Chinese 4th Grade Head Forester, while the Captain Superintendent of Police kindly allowed certain Police Officers to render occasional service in the way of inspections of outlying forestry depôts in return for small allowances,

The Superintendent was absent on leave on urgent private affairs from April 30th until November 25th, the Assistant Superintendent acting as Superintendent during that period.
