After the words "absence leave" in para. 3, "should" should be added.

The first para: F 3. Rule my opinion and with the words "count such as service" have "service" corrected to "cenice" but should be "service".

Can rush counter that even an expressed intention of retiring should enable such an officer to count leave of absence toward his pension.

In regard to the hypothetical case of an officer working one year, retired after service, I am in doubt whether a year's leave of absence properly be given with the knowledge that the officer intended to retire at the end of it; and I do not think such a regulation could fairly be considered as a hardship.

2. After the word "Rule 19", the words "and not subsequently resuming" should be inserted after "should" and "be inserted after resumption of duties."

Subject to the above observations, I have no objection to the amended Rules.
