Sir Arthur Kennedy admits that the present cost of the police is extravagant, & with Messrs Deane, Greach & Rice, it would appear already able to handle a sufficient number of Officers; the means also of appointing Cadet to be Police Officer in W. Dlane's Case has been touched upon.

Sir A. K. does not think his proposal would be favourably entertained by the Legislative Council, & it appears decidedly objectionable to get over this by having recourse to a fund beyond their disposal: as to the terms on which the Police Expenditure is to be supplemented from the special fund, I have written on the Return in the GR1178/1922/32(III); if my suggestion there is entertained that a definite contribution is to be made, instead of these special extra charges being separately considered, I would here suggest that Sir A. Kennedy should be told that as he speaks very highly of W. Wodehouse's Services, it would have no objection to the Legislative Council being asked to put Wodehouse's salary on the Police Estimate, subject to the general Conditions now laid down with regard to Police Expenditure from the Special Fund.

In the meanwhile, Sir A. Kennedy to Wodehouse has only been provisionally employed as his own Interpreter - with a case for binding L'allowance of £87.10 allowance in lieu.
