Admiralty Order in Council No. 74.

16th May 1904.

N.

Whereas by an Order in Council of Her late Majesty bearing date the 17 May 1888 provision was made for the payment of an allowance of One Shilling and Sixpence a day to Warrant Officers serving in Gunboats or other small vessels when obliged to join the Ward Room Mess :

And whereas we are of opinion that this allowance should be granted also to Commissioned Officers promoted from Warrant rank under Your Majesty's Order in Council of 28th March 1903 :

We beg leave humbly to recommend that Your Majesty may be graciously pleased by Your Order in Council to sanction the payment of an allowance of One Shilling and Sixpence a day to Commissioned Officers promoted from Warrant rank under the aforesaid Order in Council in all cases where it is desirable that they should join a Ward Room Mess.

The Lords Commissioners of Your Majesty's Treasury have signified their concurrence in this proposal.

N. 6937 / 1904.
