§ Mr. BRADYasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the services of clerks to surveyors of taxes count, for the purposes of pension, from the date of their first appointment or from the date when they are placed upon the established list?
§ Mr. MASTERMANThe service of an established clerk to surveyors of taxes counts for pension from the date of his appointment to the establishment. In addition half any previous service as an unestablished surveyors' clerk in the direct employment of the Board of Inland Revenue is counted, if the two periods of service are continuous.
