sir,

The Capt Supt of Police.

We, the undersigned Members of the Police Force most respect

fully beg to submit for the consideration of His Excellency the

Governor the inadequacy of our salaries at the rates of exchange

that have now existed for a considerable time. We have suffered

in silence for nearly two years, hoping that redress might be

spontaneously forthcoming on the recommendation of the Local Gov't

which must understand our position.

www

The reply of the Right Honourable the Secretary of State has

however shewn us that the position of affairs here is not quite

understood at home.

We therefore wish to lodge our complaint and respectful

protest.

We do not see the necessity for going into detail. Our

position is clear. A reference to the estimates for the last two

years and the fortnooning one, and to the local Price Lists will

provide all that is necessary by way of argument. Prices have

not as yet re-adjusted themselves as suggested by the Right Honour

able the Secretary of State. We consider therefore that we

should receive some compensation in respect of the last two years,

and in future until exchange is better, or prices adjust themselves

as is suggested.

We have the honour to be,

Sir:

your most obedient servants,

(Signed by the Members of the European Contingent.)
