the-
in recently determining in Executive Council
the current year, your
the
police
rate
for
Grace's instructions were borne in mind,
and care taken that the Assessment should
be
sufficient
to cover the entire Police-
Expenditure
to have been rendered necessary by the increase which has lately taken place here
in burglaries, and robberies
of person in the crowded
open day, and this increase in crime is he
considers attributable to the facilities
offered
to the vagabond population of Canton to visit this Colony in consequence of the
recent reduction in the fares of the daily
river Steamers from
one dollar to twenty
-3.
Notwithstanding
however this
addition to the strength of the Police Force
the total amount voted in the-
Estimates
for
the service of the present year
under this head will not be exceeded, and
I have the honor to be,
Your Grace's
Most Obedient Servant,
