Admiralty Order in Council No. 66

12th December, 1894.

G.H.

Whereas by the 20th section of an Act passed in the 29th year of Your Majesty's reign, chapter eighty-nine, entitled "The Greenwich Hospital Act, 1865," it is, among other things, enacted that the Admiralty may (subject to the approval of Your Majesty in Council) fix the salaries of Officers and Clerks appointed for the service of Greenwich Hospital, And whereas by Your Majesty's Order in Council dated the 16th day of April 1886, the salary of the Accountant of Greenwich Hospital was fixed at �300 rising by �10 a year to �400 per annum. And whereas we are of opinion that the salary attached to this appointment should be increased, we beg leave to recommend that Your Majesty will be graciously pleased to authorise a salary of �350 rising by �15 a year to �450 per annum, to be attached thereto, and to sanction the payment from the 1st day of April 1894 at the rate of �450 a year to the present holder.

And whereas by Article 2173, paragraph 6 (6), of the Regulations for the government of Your Majesty's Naval Service, money allowances at the rate of 1s. a week may be paid from the funds of Greenwich Hospital to Naval Pensioners admitted to Naval Hospitals or Infirmaries who have wives or children, and at the rate of 2s. a week to such pensioners if their Naval Pensions exceed 1s. a day, and they are without wives or children. And whereas we are of opinion that it is desirable to grant allowances at the rate of 2s. a week to Pensioners, whose pensions exceed 1s. a day, in cases where no allowances are paid to their wives or to persons having charge of their children. We beg leave to recommend that Your Majesty will be graciously pleased by Your Order in Council to authorise the payment of allowances at this rate - to take effect from the 11th day of January 1894.
