I certify that the pension which may be paid to the Applicant according to the Rules of the Colonial Service, amounts to A $3465 or B $3,675 and I base my Certificate on the following calculation:
A. Salary & Personal Allowance $5,400
House Allowance (1/6th of above) $900
$6,300.
Service 23 years +5 +5 under Clause 3 = 33 years.
33/60 of $6,300 = $3,465
B. Total salary $6,300
Service 25+5+5 as above = 35 years.
35/60 of $6,300 = $3,675
C. In case the 5 years for professional qualification are not allowed, the above pensions would be:
A. $2940, B. $3,150.
