In reply to your Despatch No. 2 of the

1st January last, I have the honour to inform you that the

matter of placing the Water Police under the Assistant Harbour

Master has been reconsidered in the light of the enclosed

minute by the Assistant Harbour Master in which he explains

that he is unable to undertake the additional duties unless

he is granted a substantial increase of salary. I consider

that in the special circumstances of the case it is desirable

in the interests of both the Harbour Department and the Police

Department to make a trial of this amalgamation even at the

enhanced expenditure involved and I have therefore to recommend

the following conditions of the proposed arrangement for

your favourable consideration.

(1.) That Mr. Basil Taylor should receive an

additional salary of £200 per annum without further allowances.

(2.) That he be permitted to reside in his own

house which will be connected to the Water Police Station by

Telephone, and

(3.) That he should be directly responsible in
