B department had to contribute out of their own small salaries to pay a portion of the passage money for the wife of one of the department officers, who was going home, owing to the utter hopelessness of her husband ever being able to do so.

My salary has been rendered even smaller than is usually the case for a similar position by the deduction made for the Widows' and Orphans' Fund during the past three years, a similar deduction not having been made I believe in the case of any other officer who has joined the service.

In further support of my request I would ask you to draw the attention of the Government to the disparity
