THE OFFICERS' FAMILIES FUND. [To Vie Rona ar Y. “BPSCSAT011...1

Snt,—May I point out a method by which the whole nation could assist this fund, so eloquently advocated by Lady Lansdowne P Let the Government exempt from taxation the officers' widows' pensions. This point of view has been laid before, and is being considered by, Mr. Bonus Law's Com- mittee. There are many of your readers who could exercise influence in this matter if you will allow this appeal to appear in your columns. It is a mere matter of equity.-1 am, Sir, &e.,

F. G. Elsatarsom LAWSON.
