As to the rate of pension neither under the Police Regulations, nor under the old Soupkin, Pension minute does anything but "Salary" count for pension; but under Treasury practice, house allowance or quarters has been allowed to count for ordinary Civil pension, for this man has been the greater part of his service out of the Police. It has been held that it should not count for more than part of the total. In this case the man was on 6 months' leave with half pay during his last 3 years' service; & in such a case there always arises a difficulty, acknowledging the average salary for the last 3 years should be calculated. The local Govt have apparently counted it on the average salary he drew during the last 36 months or on the salary of the post held by him during that time, though not employed with pay; this is fair though the wording of the rule is not in accordance with Art. X. It is so provided in the new Draft Minute received by such person for three years next preceding the commencement of pension: the minute clearly does not meet the case of a man absent without pay, doing part of those 3 years. For the revision of the new minute this should not be lost sight of.
I would take the average pay as here stated. 15912/88 shows that had the usual officials' pension privilege before, that would make the pension $71.76 from April 1891. JAN 1/5/91 at once. Run 1215.
