The substance of the housing arrangements is that an officer occupying Government quarters will pay rent at the rate of 6% of salary for unfurnished and 7% for furnished quarters. he occupies outside quarters he will receive a rent allowance equal to the difference between 6% of his salary and the rent paid, subject to maxima varying from 175 to 250 dollars per annum.

300 dollars a year granted to cover purely local travelling expenses. This only runs while officer is on duty in the Colony and does not form part of "salary".

Service will not count for increment, but seniority will be retained. Service will not count for superannuation purposes. The local allowance is intended, with the other advantages offered, to compensate for the loss of increment and superannuation service.

In event of death of seconded officer Colonial Government would pay a gratuity equal to one year's pensionable emoluments on Board of Trade basis, provided aggregate pensionable service at home and in the Colony was 5 years or upwards.

Full pay during any short illness while seconded; a serious breakdown would mean that the seconded officer would be invalided home.

Allotment.

Income Tax.

Crown Agents would make a monthly allotment.

If the seconded officer is absent from this country for a complete financial year beginning on April 5th he will not be liable to Income Tax. If away for a portion of a financial year he will be liable to Income Tax on remittances sent home during that period.
