(6.) Should such widow die without leaving children
or marry again having had no child by such contributor, the orphans by the previous mar- riage shall be entitled to pensions as if their father had not married such widow.
(7.) Should such widow die leaving children or marry again having children living by her marriage with such contributor, such children shall have the pension to which their mother was entitled divided equally amongst them.
Pensions.
General Rules.
35. Widows or orphans entitled to pensions and residing out of the Colony must produce proof, to the satisfaction of the directors, of their being alive and entitled thereto, before their pensions are paid.
36. No pension shall be assignable or transferable, nor shall such pension be attached, arrested or levied upon for or in respect of any debt or claim due by its recipient.
37. Every pension shall commence from the day of the death of the contributor, or mother, or step-mother whose death causes such pension to become payable (upon proof of such death to the satisfaction of the directors) and shall accrue daily, and shall be paid monthly by the Colonial Treasurer clear of any deduction, until such pension shall cease to be payable. The Colonial Treasurer may demand a receipt for each payment in such form as the directors may determine, and such receipts shall be exempt from stamp duty.
38. No pension to the family of any one contributor, however such pension may be allotted, shall exceed a gross yearly total of fifteen hundred dollars.
39. No pension shall be either increased or abated on the ground that the person entitled to receive such pension resides in a climate more or less healthy than that of Hong- kong.
40. All pensions, whether accruing or to accrue, shall be from time to time subject to re-adjustment accord- ing to the financial condition of the fund as determined according to the provisions of section 12. Such re-adjust- ment shall be made by the directors and approved by the Governor in Council. Notice thereof shall forthwith be sent to all contributors and pensioners.
41. This Ordinance shall come into operation on the 1st day of January, 1891, provided always that the abatement on the salaries of the officers mentioned in Schedule A shall remain in abeyance until the approval by the Secretary of State of an increase to their salaries in 1890 of at least 14 per cent. shall have been signified.
