* beton ad

My Lord Duke,

As your Grace is already aware Dr. J. T. C. Johnson,

Principal Civil Medical Officer in this Colony, is about to

retire from the service having attained the age of 55 years.

I have the honour to enclose a cory of a pension certificate

showing his service in this Colony but it has not been possible

to complete the certificate since the exant length of Dr. Johnson's

service in East Africa is not known here and it is not therefore

possible to decide what addition to his actual service can properly

be made under Clause 17. (2) of the Pension Minute. My Executive

Council recommends and I entirely agree that the maximum addition

for which he is eligible under the clause referred to should be

granted and I shall be glad if the pension may be calculated

eccordingly.

2. Dr. Johnson left this Colony on the 7th July and

proceeded to Australia to represent this Government at the Pan

Pacific Congress. This Congress is expected to end on or about

the 4th September, and I have granted him five months' vacation

leave, for which he is eligible, from the 5th September at the

termination of which he will be placed on pension.

I have etc.,

(sd).

R. E. STUBBS.

Governor, 20.
