pay

of the

Watchmen who have been in the

Corps for

some time

The enclosed list which

requires His Authority's Confirmation, there have been a few changes

as

during the

year,

showing at which they

were engaged...

From this it will be seen

that there

are

10 men

who have

been

in the Corps since 1867,

6 since 1868, 2 since 1869, and 4

since 1870.

Now I would recommend

that the first 16 men

should receive

$1 a month, and the next 6, $0.65

or

$1 a month in the first,

and 50 cents in the second instance...

As these in rotation will be eligible for

leave the Force, the next

promotion to a

higher Salary

I think this will increase

the zeal of the members as they

will now have something to look forward to which they had not before, If my proposition is carried out,

there will be

an increase

expenditure of $228 for pay

and

$200 for allowance, making altogether

an increase of $428, or say

$110 a quarter.

There is no longer any

doubt
