Copy Gov 209
I am directed by Mr' Sec Ch to ack the re-
ceipt of your letter of the 8th inst on the
question whether interest on the furniture in
the
in Govt House Ho glong should be paid by the
Gov while on leave.
2. Mr Ch ia advised that since the deterioration
tariation of furniture must be regarded as
continuing although it is not in use,
the charge
must be taken to be a standing deduction
from the Gov's salary, whoever draws the salary
and whether the house is occupied or not.
3. Thus. while on full-pay leave the Gov should'
ay the full charge of 5% and while the gov
is on leave with half salary half the charge
should be paid by him and half by the 0.A..
I have &c.
