A

Luratie Asylum. and quarters, was awarded a pension based

on emoluments amounting to:

to $5180, which appears

represent

$4440 plus an

addition of one-sixth

for quarters. On this assumption, Dr.Koch's pensionable emoluments would appear to be

to

8756 plus 126 (one-sixth),i.e.. £882, and his pension 220/720ths of this, viz., 8259-10 per annum.

4. I shall be glad to learn if you concur

in this calculation.

6. I should add, with reference to my

desp. No. 48 of 18th February, that the Gov. of Trinidad

is being informed that Dr. Koch's pension from that

Colony is payable as from 30th October, 1917,

not from 29th October.
