In the first twelve years of service and until the
officers appointed attain the rank of inspector, it is
assumed that they must live in Police barracks, and make their
own arrangements for housing elsewhere their wives and
children, if they marry. An inspector normally has charge
of a station where married quarters are provided. I
consider, therefore, that the above terms of service should
suffice to attract the type of officer required.

The scheme has received the approval of my
Executive Council and of the Finance Committee of the
Legislative Council; and it is now proposed, subject to
your approval, to proceed in September next with the engagement
of the first ten sub-inspectors on probation and on the terms
as recommended. In accordance with Colonial Regulation 267
I would request sanction for this engagement, and, in order
that the application of the scheme shall not be delayed, I
would ask that your sanction be conveyed by air mail.
ཤ.
Provision for twenty new Asiatic sub-inspectorships
will be made in the Estimates for 1937.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
Aalders
Governor, &C.
