I have the honour to acknowledge

the receipt of Your Lordship's Despatch No. 11 of the 16th

of January on the subject of the Ordinance to amend the

Widows and Orphans' Pension Fund Ordinance, 1900.

2.

The only explanation I can offer

of the fact that in 1903 the Directors of the Fund and the

Executive Council agreed to the proposal for the taking

over of the Fund by the Government, is that neither the then

Chairman of the Fund nor any Member of the Executive

Council, was a contributor. None of the four Directors who

were contributors raised at the time any objection to the

transfer, and this being so the Chairman and the Executive

Council concluded that there was no opposition to the

proposal on the part of the contributors who do not appear

to have given the matter detailed consideration.
