sir.
I have the honour to address you in con-
nection with the position of Mr.May as head of the amalga –
mated departments of the Police Force and the Fire Brigade.
2. Prior to 1894 these departments were s8-
parate. The Retrenchment Committee which was appointed in
1894 to enquire into the expenditure of the Colony and to
suggest what economies could be effected therein, ascertained
from Mr.May that an amalgamation of the Police and Fire Bri-
gade was possible on the lines laid down in a letter of the
3rd. April of that year, which will be found in the published
Report of the Committee transmitted to you under cover of my
predecessor's despatch No.201 of the 4th.September,
Mr. May's proposal was that the Captain
Superintendent of Police should do no more than exercise a
general supervision over the Fire Brigade; that the Deputy
Superintendent of Police should be placed in charge of the
Brigade with an addition of $360 to his yearly salary; and
