For purposes of payments in the Colony sterling salaries are at present converted into dollars in accordance with a sliding scale of $10 to the pound when the dollar is 4/4d. and over rising to $12 to the pound when the dollar is at or below 2/6a. In addition to this a strictly temporary allowance of 2% or 1% according as an Officer is married or unmarried is at present payable in respect of each penny that the value of the dollar is below 2/6d. up to a maximum of 18% (or 9%). The present value is about 1/6d. This system of conversion may be altered as a result of the recommendations of the Salaries Commissioners, vide 2 supra, A deduction of 4% from salary is made as contribution to the Widows' and Orphans Pension Scheme.
