Our messing comes to an amount of $8 per month without refreshment. At first our messing was about $4 per

month and then we had our food to our satisfaction, which food we cannot get now unless we spend $12 per man per month. The

average amount of our fowl meat in the mess for each man comes

to 75 cents per month and many men of us have to feed ourselves

with extra meat outside the mess and we should all have more or

less milk sugar while tobacco for Mahomedans and a little

drink for Sikhs.

Price of drink in the Canteen is nearly doubled. The price of

almost every other article of food and wear has been highly

increased.

If a member of the Force is to be convicted by

the Captain Superintendent of Police for a crime of negligence

and a certain sum of amount is imposed on him as fine, he then finds himself in a great difficulty in order to meet the follow- -ing expenses and each member is bound to spend some money more

or less as mentioned below:- Milk, Clothing, Tea, Sugar, Shaving,

Shoes, Tobacco, Drinks of Liquor, Stamps, hires of launches,

tram and rickshas, also each Sergeant pays 50 cents and con-

-stable 30 cents to the boy for cleaning boots and uniform in

each month.

Besides this we also pay all the cooks from our

pocket.
