I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
of your despatch No.178 of the 7th of July, recommending the appointment of an additional Assistant
Superintendent of Police, to be selected from the
Punjab Police Force.
2. You have already been informed that I have
no objection to the temporary selection of Mr Halifax
to act as Assistant Superintendent of Police;
and as Mr May only asks that provision may be made
for this new appointment on next year's estimates,
I gather that the proposal can stand for consideration
when the Estimates are received together with any suggested
increases of staff in other departments which
may be necessitated by the acquisition of the new
territory.
In this connection I have to refer you to
