My Lord,

receipt of Your Lordship's Despatches Nos. 93, 94, 122 and 169 of the 11th., 12th, and 21st. March and 9th. April,
regarding applications for assistance from certain Hongkong
pensioners.

I have addressed you separately in my
Confidential Despatch of the 7th. May on the question of
pensions generally; but I may take this opportunity to draw
attention to the fact that the readjustments of salary
which have taken place during the last twenty-five years have
resulted in a general decrease in the rates at which pensions are payable. I do not propose to discuss this matter at length, but I may quote one example to show what has occurred.
A First Class Officer who joined the Service prior to the
1st. July, 1897, draws pension at 38. 8d. to the dollar, and
after thirty years' service he would get a pension of £770.
A First Class Officer joining between the lat. July, 1397,
and the 31st. December, 1901, gets a pension of £630, at 38. Od
to the dollar, after thirty years' service. A First Class
Officer on sterling salary gets a pension of £583 6 8 after thirty years' service.
