(Continued from page 5.). The appointments marked thus are not at present held by cadets, but should for the future be generally given to cadets if any nra qualified for them.]
g. I am aware that the majority of the posis in Class III have not, hitherto, been considered to belong to the cadet service. They are however, posts which cadets can fairly be called upoa to occupy, and the duties of which they will in all probability be qualified to full, On this point Sir Henry Blake, whom I have had the advantage of consulting, is inclined to agree.
In future, therefore, a vacancy in one of these posts should preferably be filled by the selection of a cadel, if a cadet can be found who ir qualified to hold it

10. The Director of Public Works should receive £1,000 rising to £1,200 per annum (triennial increments of £100). The rest of the Department might be graded as follows:-:
(6600 per annum rising Assistant Director to 720 by triennial
increments of £50, Executive Engineers (£480 per annum rising and superintendent to 600 by triennial of accounts, increments of £40. Assistant Engineers (£360 per annum rising and principal Land · to £40 by triennial Surveyor,
Increments of £40 (Junior) Assistant Ea. (La70 per annum rising gincere (engaged to £330 by triennial locally),

As there is only one grade of medical officer (Assistant Surgeon) und opportunities of pro- mation are consequently very few, I think it will be best to place the salary of the Assistant Surgeons (including the Medical Officer of Health and the Health Officers of the Fort; if not allowed private practice), on a scale of £480 per annum rising to £720 by triennial increments of £40, so as to give them a wider range of increments than in other Departments. The sterling salary of the present Port Health Officer, so long as he enjoys private practice, ...should only be £360,
The salary of the Veterinary Surgeon and Superintendent of the Vaccine Institute might be placed on a scale of £480 per annum, rising to £600 by triennial increments of £40,

·
agree to the salary proposed for the Second Master, viz., £540 per, annum to 600 by 50. The increments of the Senior Masters might be carried up to a maximum salary of £480 per annum, and those of the Junior Masters to a maximum of
360 per annum.;
15. The Headmistress, of the Belilios Public School might similarly be allowed increments of salary up to a maximum of £480 per annum, and the same scale should be granted to the Head of the Kowloon School.
Mr. James would then, on the completion of his probationary period, be placed on a senis of £360 per annum rising to 480 by triennial increments of £30. The salary to be assigned to the Headmistress of Kowloon School may remain on the scale pro- posed in your despatch. No. 25 of 18th January fast. The Master of the Bolilios Reformatory might be given the same salary as a Third Grade Master in the Straits Settlements, viz., £425 per annum rising to £285 by two triennial increments of £30; and bis assistant shou'd receive a salary of Liso per annum rising to £200 by two triennial increments of £25.
16. The salary proposed for the Postmaster at. Shanghai seems adequate, except that I am sinclined to think that the increments attached to the post should continue up to a maximum of £480 ʼn year, in view of the desirability of retaining in the appointment an experienced postal official. Similarly I am doubtful whether the maximum salary provided for the Accountant and the Superintendent of the Money Order Office is quite enough; and I incline to think that a further increment of £25 should be given. The Examining Supervisors have, as you are aware, been appointed on salaries of $200 per annum rising to £245, but I do not object to their being placed on the scale now „proposed, viz, £230 per annum rising to £280
by triennial increments of £25.
17. In agreeing to the salaries of the various postal appointments referred to in paragraph 7 of the despatch being fixed in sterling, I must not be understood to express any opinion as to
selected by the Crown Agents in accordance⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. This scheme is now being, promulgated with the Colonial Secretary's letter of the 6th in the Colony under cover of a circular, copy February, last. -
of which is enclosed.
You are aware that the Armourer „Sergeant has been eng ged on a salary of £225 a year.
19. I accept the safary proposed for the As- sistani Superintendent of the Gral. In order to assimilate the remaining salaries to these in the Straits Settlements the Chief Warder should be given £240 a year, rising to 300 by triennial increments of £30; the Principal Warders £168, rising to £204 by triennial increments of L6; the Warders Loó, rising to £144 by four annual increments of £17.
20. The salary of the Land Officer should begin at £600 per annum and rise to £780, in order to compensate for the few opportunities for promotion which are likely to fall to the holder of the post. Moreover, the existing salary, converted into sterling at 35, is as much as 810 per annum,
21. The Director of the Observatory might be placed on the same level as Class III of the cadet service. The importance of the Botanical and Afforestation Department is increasing and I am not sure that the scale of salary which Sir". Blake proposes is sufficient to secure an officer of bigh scientific attainments.
12. I would allow the First Assistant in the Observatory and the Assistant Superintendent in the Botanical and Afforestation Department, a further increment of £30 to a maximum salary of £360 per annum.
23. The salaries of the Sanitary Officers seem to me to be rather low, in view of the importance of obtaining and keeping the ser vices of well-qualified and experienced men for this work; and I would suggest that at any rate the sterling rates might be not less than the existing dollar salaries converted at 3/- the dollar
24. I do not see any objection to the other salaries proposed by Sir Henry Blake.
3. Copies of the circular and of the schedule. of sterling salaries and instructions enclosed are being sent to officers who are on leave of absence with a request that if they desire to join thescheme they will send their acceptances to the Crown Agents for the Colonies who will he communicated-with-at-the-same-timé-and- asked to pay such officers at the-new-rates,
4. With regard to the scheme itself I have to make the following remarks.
In the scheme of sterling-salaries forwarded in Sir E. Blake's despatch of the 11th of December last the remark "No quarters" was set against the Principal Civil Medical Officer and all the Assistant Surgeons in the Medical Department, although the Principal Civil Medical Officer and Dr. Bell have quarters at the Government Civil Hospital and Dr. Thom. son draws a bause allowance of $720 per annum.
It appears that the reason was that it wa intended that these officers when they came on the sterling basis should pay rent for the quarters they enjoy. This principle has not, however, been adopted in this Colony.
5. In addition to the quarters occupied by by Drs. ATKINSON and BELL there will be. when the Victora Hospital for Women and Children is completed, a third set of quarters available attached to that hospital.
