The following table contains particulars of the public servants who were contributing to the Fund at the end of the year (after allowing for deaths, retirements, and withdrawals), grouped according to their respective rates of contribution : —

Full particulars regarding contributors, including those who have retired from the Government service and are now on the fund, will be found in the statements appended. Retiring and other Allowances .-Pensions for £19,747 14s. 9d. per annum were granted during the year, as follows: For age or length of service, £17,038 8e Bd. per annum to 153 members (147 male and 6 female members).

To widows and children of deceased members £504 per annum to 28 widows, and £247 per annum to 19 children The allowances in the case of two widows, and one child were deferred under section 45 until 23rd May, 1916, 28th August, 1918, and 3rd July, 1922, respectively. . „.,, a Q j The largest "retiring-allowance granted during the year to a contributor was £033 6s. Bd., and the smallest £8 Bs. 10d. per annum, while the average was £110 Bs. lid. The total retiring-allowances for the year (£19,747 14s. 9d.) may seem unusually large as compared with the previous year (£8,950 18s. IOd), but it must be remembered that were entitled to a sum of £54,786 6s. Id. compensation accrued under the Civil Service Act 186b, if they had not become participants of the Fund under the Public Service Superannuation Act. Eight retiring-allowances were discontinued by death, and 3 children reached age 14, and their allowances consequently expired. »*„*■•» im i ■ 4.1 The annual amount payable at the close of the year was £27,588 17s. lOd., as shown in the statement attached. .

Accumulated Funds. —These amounted at the end of the year to £154,548. The Balance-sheet.—On the 31st December the total assets of the Fund, which include provision for the outstanding accounts, amounted to £157,457. The balance-sheet appended gives full particulars as to the assets. In terms of the Act the moneys received on account of the Fund are placed with the Public Trust Office for investment, and at the close of the year were invested by the Public Trustee as follows :— £ s. d. On mortgage at 5 per cent. ... ... ... ... 85,735 0 0 ~ 4| per cent. ... ... 57,500 0 0 In common fund at 4 per cent. ... ... ... ... 5,105 9 5 £148,340 9 5 General.— Since the date of the last report the Public Service Classification and Superannuation Amendment Act of 1909 was passed. By this Act the following important changes (to take effect from Ist April, 1910) have been made in the scheme :— Contributors who, before becoming entitled to a retiring-allowance, are compulsorily retired after twenty service, for any reason other than misconduct, shall receive, in addition to refund of contributions, interest at 3J per cent, thereon. Retiring allowances may now be granted before the qualifying age or length of service, subject to approval of the Minister, who may impose conditions as to payment to the Fund or otherwise, if the following qualifications are complied with : — 1. If a contributor's age is not less than sixty years (male); fifty years (female). 2. If a contributor's length of service is not less than thirty-five years. 3. If a male contributor's age is not less than fifty-five years, "and his service not less than thirty years. The time imposed by section 50 of the Amendment Act, 1908, within which a contributor must pay five years' contributions to enable him to bridge a break of less than one year has been extended until the 10th October, 1910. To all contributors joining the Fund after the 24th December, 1909, the maximum pension which can be granted is fixed at £300. The option allowed to officers in the service who neglected to join at the proper time of becoming contributors on conditions to be fixed by the Board ceased on the 31st March, 1910, after which only persons permanently appointed subsequent to that date to the service become contributors of the Fund. The Police Provident Fund is to be merged into the Public Service Superannuation Fund as from the Ist April, 1910, and an additional member is to be elected to the Board within three months after that date by contributors in the Police Department. The members of the Police Force from that date will be under the same conditions in regard to superannuation as the rest of the Public Service, except that they have an additional benefit in that a special retiring allowance may be granted to a member rendered medically unfit by injuries received in execution of duty. The annual Government contribution to the Public Service Superannuation Fund is increased from £20,000 to £23,000. It will be noted that these amendments are mainly in the direction of improving the benefits already provided under the Act, and the service has therefore good reason for gratification at their becoming law.
