character must be deducted from civil

salaries. In the case of Stone Civil Servant, it was decided that Treasury rulings on these matters should be followed in the case of Col. Def. Officers.

In this way Capt. Taylor lost his transport allowance, duty allowance, and bonus (paid to an officer on the Emergency List). This was all settled long ago by general rulings applying to other officers. Capt. Taylor was well explained to in each case that the ruling of the CO was in general, merely following Treasury practice.

The miscalculation to which Capt. Taylor refers in para 5 of his memo is due to a misconception in the office of the C. for the Cols, as to the rate of the Admiralty allowance which was to be refunded to him; & the subsequent calculation showed that he was out of over £100. In his letter of the 26 Sept/20 he had represented that his pension was insufficient to meet his family expenses, and it was decided to waive the refund of this sum. He was so informed in the letter from the CO of the Cols on 14 Oct/20. Capt. Taylor's statement that nothing further was said to him about repaying this debt of over £100 is therefore not in accordance with the facts.

I think we might end this by giving Sir W. Davison the substance of para 4 of your memo on 7/47661/20. We might add that the miscalculation referred to by Capt. T. in his paras is due to a misconception in the Crown Agents' office as to the rate of the Admiralty allowance. The subsequent correct calculation showed that he was out of over £100. In his letter of the 26 Sept. 1920 to the CO he had represented that his pension was insufficient to meet his family expenses, and it was decided to waive the refund of this sum.
