REPORT ON THE WATER POLICE.
1. The four large Cruising Police Launches Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 have been all thoroughly overhauled during the year besides being slipped quarterly, when all minor repairs are effected. These launches are now in good running order except No. 3, which launch is showing bad signs of wear and tear and should, in my opinion, be replaced at an early date.
