There is no question that in this case the whole of the tropical climate bonus is payable

Hong Kong. There is no other service in tropical countries to

share it. So the Calculation is comet : we may

The important question for Hong Kong is whether

this pensin should be calculated under the old rules issued under the Act of 1892 or under those of 31st July 1911.

It is not certain in a case like this that it would be to the disadvantage of the Colony to have the pension calculated under the new rules. It is not likely to be the case that Mr. Mitchell-Innes will retire from

a post carrying a much higher salary than he received in Hong Kong.
