rates naving been a privilege or favour extended

all to officers appointed before 1902, as they were

designed as a measure of security for officers

recruited in Europe. The Governor submits that

this system should not now be used to secure

the payment to officers recruited in the Colony

of pensions two or three times the amount which

would otherwise be payable, and higher than

their actual salaries. This point of view

seems to me to be the correct one, and subject

to legal obsons. on the question of any rights

which may have been created by the old General

Orders, I think we may approve the Governor's

view.

The Governor also proposes that all

future pensions paid from the W. and 0. Pensions

Fund should be paid at the current rate of

exchange. (Pensions already granted will

=

continue under the existing arrangement to be

paid at the rate of $1 3/-). I think that

here also there is no reason for continuing

the existing practice, and subject to Legal

and C. S. D. obsons. we might also approve.

It will no doubt be necessary, however, for

造

the effects of this change being communicated

to all officers now on pension.

? So proceed
