I think the principle of such a fund is
sound but in order to regularize the position I propose
to seek legislative authority for the payment into it
of forfeitures in respect of all dangerous drugs, not
only opium, and I propose also that the limit above
which the balance in the fund should be transferred to
revenue should be raised to $15,000. I shall be glad
to receive your approval of these proposals.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
Governor.
