sir,

Government House

7th. February, 1911.

In reply to your Confidential

Despatch of the 15th. of last December, I have the honour

to state that, upon my return to this Colony from leave, I

requested Sir P. H. May and the Captain superintendent of

Police to enquire and report whether any increase in the

Police Force is necessary, and I now forward herewith a

copy of their joint report dated the 14th, ultimo. I have,

subject to your sanction, approved all their recommenda-

-tions and I have directed that they should be given

effect to forthwith. The total increase in expenditure

involved is $6,866 per annum, which can probably be met

this year by savings in Personal Emoluments.

2.

I do not think that at the

present time an enquiry is desirable into the aspect of

the matter to which Sir 7. H. May alluded in the last 3

lines

THE RIGHT SONOURABLE

LEWIS HARCOURT,

M.P..
