shusfore rather looked to giving reliable, active and capable leaders to the force, than attempting as it were to bribe the rank and file to good conduct by increased pay which would probably be only temporarily accepted.

11.

The present Inspectors appear to me to be a body much superior to those whom I found. The worst have been superseded by new men, and those who remain are more aware that former malpractices are dangerous, and these are now far more careful. Out of forty Inspectors, there are now only four whom the Superintendent considers corrupt, and he believes them to have become far more careful.

12.

The Assistant Superintendent, Mr. Jannsen, has not exhibited either sufficient discretion or ability for higher promotion. He is already placed for a person with his antecedents, and is now rendering such efficient assistance as can reasonably be expected from him.

13.

Numerically the force at its full strength is not more than necessary for rendering adequate protection to an extending and continually increasing population. It is somewhat below the number for which provision has been made in the Estimate, as will appear from the following Return.
