2. Particulars of Contributions discontinued during the Year ending 31st December, 1909.
Seven pensioners died during the year, leaving five widows and five children under fourteen years of age, to whom annual allowances were granted; five children having attained the age of fourteen years their allowance consequently ceased; and one pensioner, having failed to reestablish his claim to an allowance as being medically unfit, was, in view of the medical report furnished, informed that his allowance would no longer be maintained.
