Mr. Woodcock Cod
It would simply mean an amount of stores. It has never been done. Personally, I think it might be done but of course it would mean additional trouble and probably additional expense because there would be the cartage up to the Sani- -tary Board Office and after it had been carted up there there would be coolie labour to take it to where it is re- -quired. For instance, if a man wanted brooms out West, I
they come into
order them from this man - the Contractor

store here and the Inspector from West Point must come up to the store here and get them from here. It certainly would not be so convenient but it would be a better check. Personally, I have had no reason to suspect that the stores issued to the Inspectors have been misappropriated in any way. Had I suspected such a thing the proper way would be as
you suggest.
But you said that sometimes you find too many brooms and other things being used and you make inquiry ?
I go over the book and find two dosen brooms used. I don't
know about the kind of work they were for and I ask for an
explanation from the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon or the
Medical Officer of Health as the case may be.

So that in your opinion everything is carried on honestly? 12/1
In my opinion the work so far as stores are concerned is
carried on honestly.
