Public Sen-ice, however, while members of tliat service are, in some instances, retired after fort}- years’ service, the general practice appears to be that, unless for special reasons, an officer on completing forty years’ service is not considered for retirement until he also attains the age of sixty years. It is further understood that several notices of retirement were recently issued, and that after these have been given effect to there will be no officer in the service who is over sixty years of age and has, as. well, forty years’ sen-ice to his credit.
