1st January last, I have the honour to inform you that the
matter of placing the Water Police under the Assistant Harbour
Master has been reconsidered in the light of the enclosed
minute by the Assistant Harbour Master in which he explains
that he is unable to undertake the additional duties unless
he is granted a substantial increase of salary. I consider

in the interests of both the Harbour Department and the Police
Department to make a trial of this amalgamation even at the
enhanced expenditure involved and I have therefore to recommend

your favourable consideration.

Telephone, and
(3.) That he should be directly responsible in
the
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
