Instruction 21.As to members contributing upon the basis of

Superannuation Pension I am not sure whether Instruction 21 has

been observed, but it might be carefully checked.

With reference to the Schedules furnished by Hong Yong

as to Widows and Crphans now on the Fund I have made several

red ink corrections and I would suggest that entirely new

Schedules are prepared, but that the old ones are returned at

the same time in order that I may make the necessary comparison

and correct the particulars already extracted. In these

Schedules the "nearer", ages of the Orphans should be furnished.

Several (about 12] cards of members who have withdravn

have the amounts paid to the 31st December 1908 inserted

for example - Carde Nos. 196,248,615,etc., Is there still any

liability for the Fund for refund or other payment, or were these

inserted by mistake. ?

In the cases of commited pensione and cases where the

Widow in receipt of pension has died or re-married, without

children, before the 31st December 1900 it is assured that

the Fund is no longer concerned in any way with these members as

regards the alteration of scale, so that the cards are norely

required for the mortality experience.

It might be pointed out where a reduction of mension

has taken place on account of the cessation or diminution in

the contribution that the reduction of the black ink figures

of the Pension should be taken in the way more favourable to

the member.

With regard to the valuation of the Vidovers' interests

the particulars of the dates of birth and death of the deceased

and of the pension steated

rife should be inserted in the cards. They might be inserted in

A

red ink.
