I have recently received from the Crown Agent
the Colonies or Jehalf of the Covernment of Long Kong the au
$10% 10/9/10 being a war allowande, on my salary of $150 p.a, as la
A
Asst Director of Public Works from 1st January 1918 to 19th Fel
ruary 1918, the date of y retirement.
I am not aware of the conditions upcr. which this
allowance has been sanctioned, & I therefore be to enquire
whether it is only service during 1018 which qualifies fc
allowance or whether the allowance is calculated on the
period of service during the war irrespective of the period
ved durin。 1316.
I am,Sir,
Your obeuient servant

The Under Secretary of State
for the Colonies.
