GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONGKONG. 20th December, 1919.

RAL 12 FEB 20

I have the honour to infom Your Lordship

that I have had under consideration the question of the

granting of pensions to the relatives of officers of the Civil

Service who may be killed in the execution of their duty.

2.

I find there is no provision in the

Pension Minutes of this Colony similar to that contained in

Section 31 of the Ceylon Pension Minute and I submit, therefore

for your approval that the following minute be added to the Pension Minutes of this Colony:-

"It shall be lawful for the Governor-in-Council

"to aword to the widow of an officer who has been killed

*in the discharge of his duty after serving the Govern-

"-ment for not less than five years a pansien not

"exceeding ten-sixtieths of the deceased officer's salary

*or $100 a year, whichever sum is greater.

"In similar circumstances if the service of

"the deceased officer has been less than five years, it

"shall be lawful for the Governor-in-Council to award to

"the widow a gratuity not exceeding one year's salary of

"the deceased officer".

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

VISJOULE MILNER, G.C.B.,

I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,
