's very good but these amounts do not include fresh milk, coffee, cocoa etc., or drinks alcoholic or otherwise. The new liquor duties have raised the price of alcoholic liquors to a considerable extent, servants wages and clothing have increased considerably. For the last 7 years the increase for constables would average about 89.00 to $10.00 a month or say £10 a year. Still I have come across instances where a saving and steady man, in the rank of constable, can save considerable sums, and the salaries for non-married men have good margins for savings.

8. Difficulties in making both ends meet is however felt by many married sergeants and Inspectors. For them hospital deductions for their families come to a serious item, as also clothing for their wives and children and education fees for the latter. I have known several cases recently in which married sergeants and Inspectors could not afford to take their leave when due, as their savings and half-pay at home would be insufficient to keep them, and they had no relatives upon whose hospitality they could count. If women and children cannot go home their health suffers and troubles arise.

9. As regards pensions the smallness of these is the chief griev -ance of the senior officers. It has been shown that they compare un- -favourably with those enjoyed by the Metropolitan Police. Police Officers receive in addition to salary, quarters, uniform, light, fuel and passages. In other branches of the Government service, officers have to find their quarters clothing, light, fuel and passages from their salary; pension for them is calculated on their whole salary, whilst for Police Officers the value of such privileges counts nothing towards pension. The old regulation that one-sixth of salary could be taken as value of quarters for pension purposes equalised to a certain extent the irregularity of pensions due to the two methods of payment for services rendered to the public.

10. To meet the real grievances set forth in the petition as regards salaties and pensions, I would recommend that for pension

purposes the following sums be nominally added for calculating

pensions as value of special privileges of quarters etc. Chief

Inspectors £84, Inspectors £72, Sergeante £60 and Constables £48;
