HONG KONG,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

27th May, 1931.

I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of Your Lordship's despatch No.87 dated 18th March,

1931, on the subject of the pension to be awarded to

Colonel R. F. Drury, C.B.E., Chief Superintendent of the Mapping Branch, His Majesty's Land Registry,

formerly an Executive Engineer of the Public Works

Department in this Colony.

2.

I enclose a statement of the service of Colonel Drury in Hong Kong together with his aggregate pensionable emoluments and a computation of his pension

amounting to £531. 8s. 8d. shewing the allocation as

between Imperial and Hong Kong funds based on his

aggregate pensionable emoluments in both services.

It will be seen that on this basis the

division is £117. 17s. 9d. payable by Hong Kong and

3.

£413. 10s. 11d. payable by the Imperial Government. It is assumed that this is the proper and equitable manner

in which the incidence should be met.

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

LORD PASSFIELD,

&c.,
