as to be put beyond the control of the tenants, who being Indians, are averse to inlets of fresh air. Cost $700.

No Police station at Webster's Crescent, Queens Road East. It is a misnomer to call this building a Police station for in reality it is nothing more than a small house used as lodging for a married European Constable, and occasionally an Indian is also quartered here. The structure is very old and the design is so defective that it is impossible to improve it.

As the Police Authorities appear to attach considerable importance to retaining the place as a police post on account of its central and commanding position, it would be desirable to rebuild it as a three-storied house, forming the ground floor into police offices, and the two upper stories into quarters for two married Europeans. The cost of this project would be $8000.
