Western Australian Consolidated Acts Western Australian Consolidated Acts And whereas by the
operation of this Act certain officers of the Government may lose their
offices on political grounds, and it is just to compensate such officers for
such loss, be it enacted that the sums set opposite to the names of the
persons in Schedule D, who at present respectively hold the offices
therein mentioned, shall be payable to them annually by way of retiring
allowance upon their ceasing to hold office on political grounds after the
commencement of this Act; and all such sums shall be paid to such persons out
of the Consolidated Account, and the Treasurer shall make such payments
accordingly, on warrants under the hand of the Governor. Provided that if
after any such annual allowance shall have become payable, the person entitled
thereto shall accept any appointment under the Crown in any part of Her
Majesty’s Dominions, then such allowance shall, during the tenure of
such appointment, be suspended or be reduced pro tanto according as the salary
of such appointment added to such allowance is greater than the salary of the
office vacated in consequence of this Act.
