* beton ad
My Lord Duke,
As your Grace is already aware Dr. J. T. C. Johnson,
Principal Civil Medical Officer in this Colony, is about to
retire from the service having attained the age of 55 years.
I have the honour to enclose a cory of a pension certificate
showing his service in this Colony but it has not been possible
to complete the certificate since the exant length of Dr. Johnson's
service in East Africa is not known here and it is not therefore
possible to decide what addition to his actual service can properly
be made under Clause 17. (2) of the Pension Minute. My Executive
Council recommends and I entirely agree that the maximum addition
for which he is eligible under the clause referred to should be
granted and I shall be glad if the pension may be calculated
eccordingly.
2. Dr. Johnson left this Colony on the 7th July and
proceeded to Australia to represent this Government at the Pan
Pacific Congress. This Congress is expected to end on or about
the 4th September, and I have granted him five months' vacation
leave, for which he is eligible, from the 5th September at the
termination of which he will be placed on pension.
I have etc.,
(sd).
R. E. STUBBS.
Governor, 20.
