shows that bachelor officers generally
now receive less pay than they did
under the act of May 49, 1908, even
before officers We're entitled to heat
and light allowances. authorized Oc-
tober !, 1915
Under the act of May l3. 1908. a
lieutenant in the Navy with 10 years
service was entitled to S3.l6S per an
mum while serving at sea- regardless
of his marital status. This increased
his shore pay by 10 per cent. But
the thorn in the side of this class
of naval officers is that under the
act of June 10. 1922, this same officer
on sea duty is entitled to receive
S2.979 per annum. Under the 1908
law a lieutenant with Is years serV-
ice received S3.432 per annum while
on sea duty. while he receives but
$3,099 under the 1922 law. Under the
1908 law the yearly pay of lieuten-
ant with 20 years service is 1886,
while he would receive S4.1l9 per an
mum under the 1922 law (the same
pay as a lieutenant commander of
90 years service. the act of 1922 pro-
viding that lieutenants after Il years
service should receive the pay of the
fourth-pay period.
In determining the pay schedule
under the act of June 10. 1922, con-
sideration was given to the great
! increase in the cost of living to which
the bachelor officers of the Navy have
been subjected as well as others. At
the present time there are very few
lieutenants in the Navy who are re
ceiving the pay of lieutenant after
90 years service. officers having been
advanced to the grade of lieutenant
commander before completing 20
years service. This reduction in pay
for sea duty between 1908 and 1922
is one of the most convincing argu-
ments which has been presented for
a correction in the act of June 10,
1922.
