2. This draft Ordinance...

has been carefully considered

in connection with a similar

draft ordinance received from the Straits Settlements, and I have now to approve of its introduction subject to the following amendments.

3.

In clause 2 the definition

Government or a member

Colony of higher rank but does not

include any person whose

salary is less than two hundred and forty dollars

per annum

4. In the same clause the definition of Salary should be that contained in Section 1

of Ordinance No. 28 of 1895;

and the definition of Pension

should be amended

by the addition of the words

"except where the context implies that the contributor himself is referred to"; and the definition

of

"the Fund"

should be amended by the insertion
