GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
29th. May, 1912.
I have the honour to inform you that Mr. R. G. McEwen, an Inspector under the Sanitary Board, has raised the
question of the rate at which he is entitled to draw his salary when on leave and his pension.
2.
On page 79 of the Hongkong Civil Service List
for 1912 there is a
"List of Officers entitled to Exchange Compensation at 3/-, Leave Pay at 4/- and Pension at 3/8 the dollar", and on page 81 there is a
"List of Officers entitled to Exchange Compensation,
Leave Pay and Pension at 3/- the dollar".
Mr. McEwen's name appears in the latter, but he contends that he is entitled to draw salary when on leave at the rate of 4/- to the dollar and pension at the rate of 3/8 to the dollar, basing his claim on the rule that officers appointed before the 1st. July, 1897, are entitled to these privileges.
3.
I have gone carefully into the matter and have come to the conclusion that Mr. McEwen has established his claim, and I will as briefly as possible give you my reasons for arriving at this decision.
4.
Mr. McEwen joined the Hongkong Police Force as
