Police Force Incidental penses. Ammunition Lockers for Launches, $350.00.
The Naval Authorities having been asked to inspect the arrange ments on board Nos, 2 and 4 Police Cruising Launches for stor. ing ammunition have reported that these are insufficient and danger ous and recommend the provision of special ammunition lockers. The estimated cost of two lockers is $350 and it is probable that this unforeseen expenditure will cause an excess on the above vote.
A supplementary vote for $350 is accordingly requested.
The above is to be met from

- The laboratory instruments which were sent to England for repair and adjustment, were not completed and returned in time for their payment to be included in 1929 accounts. The sum, voted for this purpose in the 1929 Es- timates, viz. $500 has therefore lapsed. The arrival of Crown Agents accounts for January necessitates this request for a re- vote of $320.
Broadcast Transmitter.
Public Works Department- Other Charges, Special Expendi- ture. Purchase of one Broadcast Transmitter, $50,000.00.
The existing broadcast trans- mitter (purchased in 1924 and first used in 1925) is now obsolete and of insufficient power. It is recommended that a new modern transmitter be obtained.
'Certain alterations are required to make the Sailors Home build- ing suitable for occupation as a Police Station (for which purpose the site was taken over) until such time as it is possible to provide funds for the rebuilding of the present No. 7 Police Station, which is badly overcrowded and in need of extra accommodation.
No funds were provided in the 1930 Estimates for this work as it W3S not anticipated that the building would be handed over to Government this year.

The Contractor undertook to maintain and keep in good order and repair the siding for 6 months after completion, and 5% of his bill which amounted to $149.09 was retained for a period of 6 montha.
