RAILWAY SUPERANNUATION FUND
THE CONTINUOUS SERVICE QUESTION. (Por Press Association.) WELLINGTON. August 2. The Appeal Court delivered judgment >v Air. Justice Williams in Douds v. Minister of Railways. It was held that section 16 of the Government Railways Superanuation Fund Act, 1902, clearly showed that continuous '.service only was contemplated. If a retiring contributor joined the service again, and his previous service was to count for superannuation, he would be getting an allowance for a period during which he had not contributed, because when he first retired his contributions were returned to him. That certainly was not the intention of the Act. There was nothing whatever from which it could be inferred that a person retiring from the service had any other right than to have his money back. It was unnnecessary to invoke the Act of 1902. Plaintiff had the rights which that gave him. Apart from that lie would have no rights in respect of the period of service before his resignation.
