the sum they receive from the Widows And Orphans' Fund being totally inadequate to their requirements. As 95% of the senior men are married they cannot for these reasons be expected to prolong their service and at the same time pay the exorbitant school fees, food prices, clothing expenses, etc. etc., for their children, which are required in this Colony. Further, this prolonging of service with a view to obtain a higher pension blocks promotion in the Force, the result being that for every few that prolonged their service a similar number would have to retire an 2nd. class, or Sergeants pensions; this could not tend to the afficiency of
the Force.
Seventhly.....We do not dispute His Excellency's figures re promotion but we would point out that over 70% of our promotions are made througi men dying or leaving the Force for
better positions.
We most particularly and respectfully beg to draw
attention to the following points:-
-
(1). Men who retire on pension on the dollar scheme are entitled, with the same service, to £22. 7. 0. a year more pension
than men on the Sterling Scheme. One instance The Ex-Inspector Robertson retired on pension in 1911 with 25 years' pensionable service and is drawing a pension of £152.7.0. A 1st. Class Inspector on the Sterling retiring today with the same service
would be entitled to £130.
(2). Two years ago we were given an increase of pay which amounted in the aggregate to about £1,000.0.0 per year, but before this was granted we were called upon to sign an agreement cutting off extras to the amount of £500 per year, see Precis of Corres- -pondence No. 4 of 1913, and owing to the increment system, 30%
of that increase cannot be earned for some years to come.
Through having a network of increments in all ranks, which we have asked to be abolished, at present not one Inspector is drawing £260, and it will be impossible for Inspectors, with few exceptions, to obtain a pension off that salary at 45 or even
