With reference to the correspondence noted in

the margin, I have the honour to bring to

your notice the special services rendered

by Mr. C. Mol. Messer, in connection with

the raising, training and general super-

-vision of the Special Police Reserve, the

control of which is under Ordinance No. 27 of 1914 vested in

the Captain Superintendent of Police. These duties have occupi- -ed and still occupy a very considerable portion of Mr. ... Messer's time, upon which the extra work involved by the war already make heavy demands.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble servant,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

WALTER LONG, M.P.
